I have 3 main development computers on which I use CLion. One is shared duty workstation/server with 20 cores and 512GB RAM another is main desktop desktop with 16 cores and 128GB RAM and 3rd is tiny small factor PC with 8 cores and 128GB RAM which I drag around to summer cottage etc.
CLion is very fast on either. I guess gobbles of RAM counts. I also have laptops with 32GB RAM each but did not try it on those as I no longer use laptops for development (no business need).
Still as my main development language for backend is C++ I mostly use Visual Studio. Especially since their preview version allows seamless development / debugging on remote Linux server. Hard to describe but it just fits me better, feels more "natural".
