Unfortunately you still have to compile it from source instead of install an extension from the store, and there's no autoupdate.

But the experience is vastly better. I deleted RLS immediately. And it's not that hard to install either.

This is part of why I think I never discovered rust-analyzer. I first looked at what's most popular in the VSCode plugin library and found RLS. I then browser searched for alternatives and kept finding RLS. I think I concluded that RLS was all there was.
Thanks for sharing ! I'll stick to RLS for the time being, because I'd like to see it improved, but not replaced.
rust-analyzer is effectively RLS 2.0 -- rust-analyzer development happens on the official RLS 2.0 working group communication channels. Assuming they don't "replace" the RLS name, the most likely outcome is replacing large amounts of code en-masse with rust-analyzer code.

Analyser runs at 400% cpu constantly for me.
Have you tried a recent build? They fixed a few issues around cpu usage over the past few months
