We could use a more precise statement than "just works".

Here is someone who likes IntelliJ IDEA's Rust support [0]. What 
I can see:

* Show documentation in tooltip
* Inline renaming of local variable (What about project-wide?)
* Completion (with semantics, I assume)
* Find all uses (of a local variable? What about project-wide?)
* One-click dependency resolution (I guess)
* Folding

What I do not see (might or might not be available):

* Advanced refactoring, like "extract function" or "converted 
lambda to named function"
* Clicking on build errors/warnings and showing them inline
* Displaying unit test status
* Integrated debugger (which should probably have various 
sub-items...)
* Integrated profiling
* GUI builder
* Color picker
