I'm just learning myself, and I found just Visual Studio Code and the Rust extension are great on Windows

Make sure to use the Rust Analyzer extension, it's is significantly better than the default Rust extension.

I tried for a minute but it just wouldn't work out of the box and I didn't have time to investigate, so I reenabled the default for now.

I thought I saw somewhere rust devs themselves recommending Rust Analyzer too

Seconded! It all works incredibly well. Rust with Visual Studio Code and the relevant suggested extensions (CodeLLDB, rust-analyzer) must be least hostile expert system I've ever used (and I've tried a few).
