[Qt-creator] clangd + qtc vs clangd + any editor

[Cristian Adam]

Hi,

As a C++ developer you could actually fix something in Qt Creator. If it's something minor you can simply fork qt-creator on github, push to your fork and you'll get binaries created by GitHub Actions.

There are not so many C++ IDEs written in C++, open source, and cross-platform!

This was important for me before joining the Qt Creator team and working on Qt Creator itself.

Cheers,
Cristian.

I often get asked by my coworkers why I use qtcreator for general C++
development (non-Qt) when you can use clangd with "any" editor and get
code completion, navigation, refactoring etc. Often they mention vscode
and/or vim.

Assuming that you have a build system in place that can generate a
compile_commands.json file, which advantages does QtCreator give? (non-Qt
c++)

I do have a personal preference for QtCreator, but I would greatly
appreciate it if you could provide me with some insight on the matter.
