personally I think the best IDE in the world is Visual Studio for C#.
I think Rust has the _potential_ to be better, but it's years off and requires the rust community to change how they think.
I'm interested in the IDE due to the authors claims, but I don't really see him making this IDE better than VS + C#. If he can, that would be amazing though.

The said change already happened and Rust devs are currently refactoring in depth their compiler to make it IDE-friendly (taking a lot of inspiration from Roslyn). This is tons of work though and even if it's currently going well, it won't be there before next year.
- It still can't handle most of the CMake projects.
- Refactoring/autocompletion/go-to-definition doesn't work on a heavy-templated code.
- Clang must be patched to work correctly (at least code analyzer doesn't work out of the box).
- Code generation sometimes produces malformed code.
- No ANSI escape codes support in terminal/output.
- Random crashes.
IDEA with Rust plugin is years ahead.
