While the semantic coloring in kdevelop is great, there is one feature i miss: bracket coloring by depth, for an example see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ozPypdOUcM or: https://github.com/luochen1990/rainbow With the clangs help it might even be possible to color the template brackets '<>' correctly without stumbling on 'x<1'. That is something no other IDE or editor can do correctly as far as i know.
