Ah yes, the next laggy and shitty jetbrains IDE. Truly wonderful. /s
It's weird, but I quite often sit on calls watching people who use VSCode taking 2-3 times as long to accomplish the same outcome as I can in my Jetbrains IDE. Either they don't have the plugin installed rn, or it's not working atm, or they have too many and it's gotten slow, etc.
If it's a small edit to a single file VScode is often quicker, but if it's actually working with or developing changes in a larger codebase I find that a well integrated IDE instead of a more basic editor with plugins works better
And then you see a vim wizard flying through the code at the speed of light, leaving those Jetbrains users behind.
Just joking, I love vim (wouldn't call myself a wizard though) but everyone should just use whatever suits them.
For me jetbrains ides are just not okay. They lag my PC so much that I can't even play Minecraft 1.8.9 at the same time. The plugin list is so tiny - Rust, Color highlight thingy, and builtins!
Also personally I don't like these IDEs just because they aren't open source - I can't modify it if I want to, which in this case doesn't fit the spirit of Rust - making it opensource; the plugin API is so obscure to the point I considered switching to nvim (that was a year ago, not much has changed)
If they are not going to use Rust-Analyzer here, it's gonna be real shitty
Thanks for downvoting my comment to hell just because you disagree
Chill man, getting downvoted sometimes means people disagree with you, as you said; not that your comment was shitty.
