Why CLion doesn't support MSBuild?
Answered
Is there any license issue? or just have no plans yet?

Hi @NDelt!
No upcoming plans to support MSBuild project model. But maybe in the future we’ll reconsider. Feel free to create a feature request in our tracker: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/CPP.
It will actually be very useful to support MSBuild on CLion, for the following reasons:
- MSBuild integrated with IDE can manage very complex projects seamlessly.
- Solution based projects despite their XML formats have the ability of managing/sharing cross project codebases in a very cohesive way.
- Currently there's no simple solution for sharing static code files between projects on either CMake or any other C++ supported buildsystem
