I use netbeans on large c++ code remotely and I haven't had issues with cursor slowing down. I have observed waiting for code completion but very rarely.
There are several nice things about Netbeans There is a plugin for gdbserver support in Netbeans 8.2. I have installed it but haven't used. There is builtin support for remote development which I have used extensively at work. It comes with remote debugging as well. I have to run programs on embedded hardware that requires multiple ssh jumps. One feature I would like to add is support for ssh jump hops (-J flag or ProxyJump in config) in Netbeans ssh. There are several bugs that I encountered and would like to fix: - diff to does not work for remote files - ctrl shift t to open last closed file works only for local files - inline refactor doesn't always work (thankfully rename refactoring always works!) - Certain refactoring are not supported for projects built with existing sources - Code assistance for a large remote project with existing sources will fail many times. Requires successive runs to fully develop source model - /** tab does not automatically generate javadoc/doxygen style documentation with parameter names and return values for projects built with existing sources (it works for projects created from the ide) - some companies, especially ones using c/c++ tend to use Perforce for version control. It would be good to add support for p4 edit, although not a priority. Despite these minor flaws and some missing features, Netbeans has been extremely productive for me to dive into large undocumented projects and add features on top. Excellent Remote development and create project from existing sources are the killer features for me. I was surprised that even Clion lacks these features.
