I gave #RustRover a try for 3 months.

I think it's great for Rust itself, especially for the excellent language support, but overall, the editor experience and Git UX held me back.

Ended up going back to Visual Studio Code, but I'm not excluding going back in the future if things improve.

Is RustRover Worth It? My 3-Month Review

After 3 months of using RustRover, I share my thoughts on whether it's worth the investment for Rust developers.

@rogerparkinson Using #Java software to write #Rust doesn't seem right. That's why I ditched #RustRover (actually written in #Kotlin, but still on #JVM), that's superior to #Eclipse.

I used Eclipse #CDT for almost 10 years some time ago, but it became a burden at some point. Then #VSCode appeared... and then #Zed.

I still use last two, as Zed doesn't have any preview extensions due to lack of built in webview support.

JetBrains RustRover gefällt mir besser als ein Visual Studio Code mit drölfzig Plugins.

Und es funktioniert auch auf Anhieb alles. Muss nichts einrichten oder konfigurieren. So mag ich das!

For my #Rust projects, I’ve finally migrated from #RustRover to @zed.

RR is a great IDE, but it feels much too bloated for me. #Zed, on the other hand, is a pleasure to use. So smooth!

Here’s my current config including a beautiful theme based on monokai-pro https://github.com/0xdea/dotfiles/tree/main/zed/.config/zed

I like RustRover as an IDE for Rust. It's pretty fast and has mostly working code completion. But I have not been able to get it to recognize Protobuf types. The application compiles and runs fine, but RustRover can not seem to find the generated types. This makes editing much more distracting than it needs to be as a bit part of the code is red when it doesn't need to be. Or perhaps something is not included correctly but the compiler manages to handle it?

The Evolution of Async Rust: From Tokio to High-Level Applications | The RustRover Blog

Tokio has become the de facto asynchronous runtime for high-performance networking in Rust, powering everything from backend services to databases. During the discussion, they explored how async Rust matured over the years, the architectural decisions behind Tokio, common challenges developers face today, and where the ecosystem is heading next.

Greeted by this damn “RustRover goes AI” modal this morning.

As LLMs are soooo goood, there’s only a single, “Let’s go”, button. To not “Go” you need to close the window.

Nice work JetBrains, dark patterns are always a display of great self confidence.
I’ve been a license holder for years, this might be the last straw.
