Depends on the language.

I use mostly Scala and Rust and both have significant issues still with incorrect syntax highlighting, refactoring being limited and slowness with larger projects.

And both are offered as a free plug-in, not a dedicated IDE or Idea Ultimate offering.
I guess it's just that I have a hard time reading a statement like "Features are super slow to be delivered" and even trying to understand where that person is coming from. Like, what general, non-language specific features does he think IntelliJ lacks at this point? Is he upset he can't use it to mail a check to his utility company?
VS Code Remote development equivalent? I know similar features available but VSCode is superior for overall when I've last checked.
I didn't say its non-language specific only. I also listed few language specific ones and non-language ones. Not sure I can add more to be clear
Scala and Rust are both very complex languages.

I mean, how's rustfmt going?

Also, Scala sort of recently became completely revamped and I have only had a not too positive experience with the new version - which does make sense that it won’t instantly be as feature-complete.
Yeah, Scala3, has a special name IIRC.
Dotty? Was it still the name later?

I believe it is just called Scala3 now, dotty was actually a reimplemented compiler for that new version, and that’s why it used to be referred to as such.
