Hahaaa! I especially like the “I don’t see any other way” part. Fantastic. 
Also, very, very cringe-worthy. Telling a company it’s in denial because it 
doesn’t fork your favourite IDE is... ridiculous. It sounds like you haven’t 
actually attempted to properly use Qt Creator (e.g. by saying that Locator 
“only searches for filenames”), and don’t intend on putting in any work 
yourself, even though it’s an open source project.


Hey look I didn't start to offend anybody about their work, but just get some 
realistic here;

I’m not a Qt Creator developer, but if I were, it would be pretty funny to be 
told I was in denial. What are they in denial about, exactly?

That QtCreator is eons behind current technology and trends, isn't it very 
obvious? I would say just checkout features of ANY JetBrains product but you 
don't even intend to so you are in therefor denial. (Not personally you but 
many people who are objecting these)


No one from The Qt Company had even replied before you told them that they’re 
in denial. The others who have replied are not employees of The Qt Company. 
They were also suggesting ways to achieve the things that you said were 
missing, not saying that there isn’t room for improvement. So, to summarise, 
you’re telling random people on a mailing list that they’re in denial over 
something that they never denied.


1. Have you even try to read people's comments on that link I've shared? (Yes 
they are practically begging JetBrains)

I did read the bug report, yep. So what if they’re begging JetBrains? Rather 
than try to shame developers into converting one product into another, why not 
contribute specific features that you think are missing? Tell your friends 
commenting on that bug report that they can write a plugin for Qt Creator, and 
that it’s all open source.

I'm not trying to shame anyone, I'm simply trying to wake people up from their 
sleep, trying to convince to look around instead of just accept what you 
already have...

Then you need to reconsider the way you communicate, because the replies you’re 
getting are a direct result of talking like you’re owed the world, when, in 
reality, you’ve put in no effort (be it Jira suggestions or patches) nor paid a 
dollar towards what you’re asking. I would be hard pressed to think of a less 
constructive way of generating interest in the things that you want than 
wording an email in the manner you have.


2. Have you ever used ANY JetBrains product before? for how long? then you'll 
see there the huge difference between JOY of coding and JOB of coding.

No, and I have no plans to. I’m not arguing that JetBrains’ product doesn’t 
have good features.

If you accept that JetBrains products have some good features why not implement 
those SOME of good features to our QtCreator?

It seems you’re not getting the point.


3. And yes I don't see any other way IF you want to be part of the solution 
instead of being in denial!

Again, can you tell me what I’m in denial of? If I find something lacking with 
Qt Creator, I file a suggestion or fix it myself if it’s easy enough. That’s 
being part of the solution. Doing what you’re doing in the way you’re doing it 
is textbook “being part of the problem”.

The problem is the lacking things wont come without nothing short of a 
revolution. it would take eons just to write whats lacking in QtCreator (hence 
eons behind others) thats why I suggested a plugin or a fresh start with 
intellij platform. besides it is The Official Qt Company product we are talking 
about, while it is good to have the product as open source, relying solely to 
contributors for improvement aspecially a revolutionary and big ones as these 
is not right. Qt Company should step in, I believe they are making enough 
money...


Oh dear.


"and don’t intend on putting in any work yourself, even though it’s an open 
source project."
I would put my work if it would mean something; trying to make such 
revolutionarising move on the existing QtCreator would practically re-writing 
it all from scratch while there are more convinient ways such as moving to 
intellij platform or just simply wrting a plugin for CLion maybe?

Why do you have to re-write Creator from scratch?

If you have a problem with the auto completion in Creator (or any other 
specific problem), file a bug report.

see my previous comment


I saw it.
