The plugin is better than nothing but not really up to par with Jetbrains standards yet.

- More than half of compile time errors are not shown in the IDEs. - Breaks when using some macros. For example wheb using gtk-rs each file defining a custom widget constantly show 2 errors that aren't there. Autocompletion fails for a lot of macros, even simple ones with macro_rules!. - The debugger works but there are no type renderers. I wish it showed the result of Display or Debug. Often you have to go through 5-6 layers of objects to find the actual data with std types. Single stepping can be very slow at times. Runtime expression evaluation almost always fails except for very simple expression like accessing a field (forget about anything that creates structs). - Finding files with double Shift is usually very fast but for some reason it can take 6-7 seconds for Rust files to show up.

Set it to Clippy and real-time lint instead of cargo check
Ah thanks it works better. The false positive errors are still there and it takes like 15 sec before errors show up though. I guess it's better still.
