CLion

[reavertm]

VS Code

Like vi, no matters how many plugins you stuff it with, it will always feel more like text editor with plugins rather than IDE. I use it at work on Windows as general purpose text editor (some .py, .sh, .xml, .xslt) and it's alright but for full fledged C/C++ development it feels out of place to me. And quality of many five starred plugins in often questionable.

CLion

A bit slower and much, much more proprietary. Yes, refactoring features are nice.
I don't recall whether its CMake support allows reusing existing build dir, thing that often you find useful in various obscure corpo build environments, which kdevelop handles nicely.

Next?

KDevelop is quite decent actually. I don't know if it is the best c/c++ IDE on Linux (i don't do c/c++ these days), but i wouldn't be surprised if it were. Underrated choice for sure.

You should clarify such stipulations in your original statement.

CLion is a proprietary software. You can apply for 1 year, renewable on request, free license for confirmed open source development. It's written in Java so it has a bit more sluggish UI. It is quite decent.

The base for it is open source as with intellij/pycharm. Their products are remarkable for refactoring (one of the most important reasons to use an IDE) and familiar across languages.
