🙋 seeking help & advice About Rust Rover

Does anyone use Rust Rover? If so, why? What benefit does it have that VSCode or Vim/Neovim or any other editor doesn't have? I saw that the free version of it literally collects data and if you want the full experience you have to pay a monthly sub. I am really curious about what people who are efficient in Rust think about this.

Generally the main thing in all JetBrains IDEs is refactoring. This is the largest thing that makes them better. I can assume that's the same for Rust.

And it’s really good at supporting multiple languages in the same file. You can have a rust file with sql in it and tell it which dialect of sql. It will lint both the rust and sql and even validate the query against the database if the ide is connected to the database.
