They do generally try to keep IDEs focused on a topic, for example how Rider has the role of supporting both Unity (C#) as well as Unreal (C++) projects since the the folks who seem to work closely with Rider seem to be their game development SMEs.

Similarly for Rust, I figure CLion is the best bet?

You would use the LLDB debugger backend similar to your C/C++ projects you would work on with CLion.

Quite a few rust projects do touch or at least reference C projects etc...

IntelliJ ultimate is probably the one exemption, being possible to be turned into the kitchen sink IDE with the right plugins. It still maintains some of its java first nature more than the language specific quirks though, I remember IntelliJ plus the python plugin used to have the hierarchy of package and module labels inverted to what Python actually does because the labels were created with Java in mind. (It was some time ago now though, so maybe they've fixed that specific example)

Yeah. IntelliJ Ultimate is also decent with Rust, but debugging & profiling support is better with CLion.

Is it notably better? I've always used IDEA ultimate since I already have it installed but that's the second comment I've seen today touting improved debugging experience. Any things you'd call out? I've never felt it's deficient in IDEA but better profiling would be a huge selling point.
