Nice to see some new powerful C++ tools coming up. Also great that they seem to develop their own analysis code, which is pretty challenging for C++, but if JetBrains doesn't do it, I don't know who would. I was getting a bit worried that we would have a Clang monoculture when it comes to C(++) tools (outside of Microsoft at least: Xcode, Kdevelop, plugins for vim, emacs, sublime text, ... all use clang beneath the hood).

The only problem I have with JetBrains' products is the java UI they use. It never seems to fit into the OS. The mac version looks OK in screenshots but feels foreign when you use it, and the Linux version looks really bad (esp the Fonts). Also it is pretty sluggish - faster than Eclipse and NetBeans of course, but you still feel it's a java IDE beneath it. (Not saying that java based IDEs are neccessarily slow and unpolished, but I never found one that's entirely satisfying).
