Integrating all the features you need to be productive in a language like C++ (auto complete, compiler output parser, navigation, etc.) and then still lack features like integrated debugging and refactoring is just silly.
Unfortunately IDEs tend to suck on most basic aspect of coding - text editing - and they can be slow. Eclipse is a great example of everything that is wrong with IDEs - you can't even scroll past the end of file (when I first googled how to change this option and read that you can't I had a good laugh) and you can see the editor redrawing on scrolling/input. It really says something when your editor is rendering slower than Atom.
On the other hand good IDE like IntelliJ tools are decently fast and offer a bunch of useful tools you just don't get out using a text editor - the only problem I have with IntelliJ is that CLion is not integrated in to Idea - this means I can't use them on a same project because the project files clash and I have a project that uses Python/TypeScript/C++ it would be awesome if I could develop it all from one IDE (and IntelliJ is great at all those individually)
