No More JetBrains Products for Me

A developer has switched from JetBrains' CLion IDE to Zed, a newer open-source editor, after years of frustration with CLion's performance issues including slow startup times, laggy file creation, and high CPU/RAM consumption. Despite appreciating JetBrains' solid UI design and debugging tools, the persistent sluggishness made the developer reluctant to start working, prompting the switch to Zed, which offers fast performance, sensible defaults, and VS Code compatibility.
