    Wow, no one mentioning IntelliJ?? I use the free edition with Rust and it works great… the only thing missing is a debugger, which requires the CLion distribution which is not free… but so far that hasn’t been a big problem for me.

    vscode. I think anything that supports LSP works well with rust, but my vscode setup is comfy enough and devcontainers are rather nice.

    I am not a hardcore programmer, but anytime I code anything, I use vscodium. It is VScode without the microsoft telemetry.

        It has the same plugin system, but they pull from Open VSX rather than Microsoft’s extension marketplace. If there’s an extension not available there, you can still download it from Microsoft’s marketplace and then add it manually.

          It’s also possible to swap out the extension registry entirely and still use Microsoft’s marketplace instead of Open VSX in VSCodium.

    I used VSCode for a few months and tried the CLion free trial after missing some of the features from IntelliJ I use at work. I think CLion edges out just a little, but not by much. Both have some rough patches.

    Next time I pick up a Rust project I want to try neovim; I keep ending in tutorial hell for vim and never actually building anything with it. But before that, I think I want to ditch my Windows OS all together and pick some Linux distro, something I’ve been putting off a very long time.

      Try Linux Mint. It’s made for people who are coming over from Windows. You’ll find it feels very familiar.

        This was also the distribution I chose when first moving away from Windows and I can definitely recommend it. The vast majority of things worked out of the box, and people on the Linux Mint forum were very helpful in solving my remaining issues.

    No one has said Emacs yet, I was a long time vim/neovim user but switched a couple of years ago, still learning rust but it’s been pretty comfy so far, plus I can wash my dishes in it.
