And their free and open-source rust plugin is deprecated: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8182--deprecated-rust

Quoting MRandl comment from the blog:

> Bit of a malicious move, essentially monetizing the contributions of all the people who worked on the plugin while the open source part slowly falls into deprecation and wontfixes. Not cool at all!

While I've always been happy with the VS Code ecosystem, I'd be lying if I said that JetBrains products haven't been a favorite of many developers I've worked with.

Disappointing that the open source plugin is a casualty, but this is probably a net positive for getting Rust into more hands that might need it. Writing Rust with and without IDE help is a night and day experience and having an official, goto, commercially supported product is great news.

To clarify, TFA says that the open-source plugin will remain open source and freely available on GitHub and the marketplace.

If that's what we're calling "malicious" these days, then I'm not exactly outraged. Rather, I find it exciting that Rust has grown to the point where a commercial entity wants to commit to a commercial product like this.

I wish they would have one IDE for everything - what IntelliJ used to be.

Yea, one of the main reason I often use VS Code instead of Jet Brains is that it supports just about every language in the same project. For example if I'm working on a Python project with a C++ component I can choose between using PyCharm which doesn't have C++ support of CLion with has very limited python support.

It’s MIT licensed. This is why I hate non GPL. But calling it malicious when the license is very clearly pronounced is kinda funny.
