Forgive me but aren't they just identical apps? I swear I thought they were all the same base program with a different set of plug-ins. And you could basically make any of them behave like any of them.


No, they are surprisingly not! IntelliJ doesn't have the debugging support CLion does and won't let you set breakpoints across language boundaries.

IntelliJ also sucks for Ruby and Go compared to RubyMine and Goland. Even with the language plugins.


No wonder I couldn't set breakpoints. Going to try again with CLion then. Thanks for sharing!
