Assuming that the plugin is enabled for the free version, CLion is also amazing for Rust. Thanks Jetbrains!

Here's hoping this won't be abused by smaller companies that will no longer want to pay for the actual subscription. I also wonder if they are moving towards a different funding model, since the IDE space is pretty competitive with a free alternative (VSCode) out there.

RustRover is already free for Non-Commercial use! I think it is the best IDE for Rust dev.

Yes, it is quite nice. That being said I keep a little statistic about IDE usage at the Rust events I attend. I have observed RustRover or CLion only three times at the 48 events I've recorded. One of these three was an event at JetBrains. To be fair, I started my notes long before RustRover existed.

neovim is marginally more popular.

vscode is the crushing majority.
