Why is this necessary? I thought we've moved past language-specific IDEs.
- We have? JetBrains never has stopped offering them.
  
  Who wouldn't want an experience tailored to their main language? I certainly favor PyCharm over Ultimate
  
  JetBrains is not representative of every editor / dev. Language servers mean I can use Emacs / Vim / VSCode / whatever else I want and have IDE features for whatever language I want.
- Yea, I was thinking the same. I have the JetBrains toolbox, and already have these installed:
  
  Rider
  
  RubyMine
  
  PyCharm
  
  GoLand
  
  CLion
  
  I don't really get why they need to make 10 different IDEs for every language, instead of just consolidating everything into a single UI/IDE.
  
  For pricing it doesn't make that much sense, anyone that wants more than 2 JetBrains products is better off buying the entire toolbox.
  
  I'm still waiting for Cobolilissimo and Fortransformer...
  
  You know that you can use IntelliJ Idea Ultimate to get all of these in one package?
  
  Totally agree but weren't they working on an all-in-one IDE? I think it was Fleet
  
  And there is already the Language Server Protocol, which basically everyone else uses.
- This is likely just rebranded intellij with some rust specific plugins and some UI adjustments like pycharm, goland, etc.
  
  All the JetBrains IDEs feel like basically the same platform with different plugins and tweaks.
- Permanently Deleted
  
  They don't require CLA, since it's MIT license. So what they showcase is the benefit of copyleft.
  
  Is this IDE going to make it impossible to install the Rust plugin in their other IDEs? Like is there anything preventing a user from continuing to use the Rust plugin and CLion after this has been released?
- They can come in handy, for some people. I am certainly happy with VSCode
  
  VSCode isn't language specific, is it? Why would they come in handy?
- Marketing
I would've liked it more if they didn't deprecated IntelliJ Rust in favor of RustRover, I liked being able to write Rust in any JetBrains IDE if I needed it, now I'm stuck with an old, unsupported version of the plugin.
- Well, you can still have the up-to-date plugin, you just have to pay for it now.
  
  funny
- agreed
- Your username gave me anxiety.
  
  u and me both
I liked using CLion for both Rust and C++, now I see they outright deprecated the Rust plugin
This is likely just rebranded intellij with some rust specific plugins and some UI adjustments like pycharm, goland, etc.
It would be nice if it would work better
- As in... ?
  
  Last time I used it it couldn't even show errors in code that couldn't compile without using clippy all the time, which is suboptimal
