## What it is
The open-source Rust language plugin for IntelliJ-based IDEs (IDEA, CLion, PyCharm, etc.), providing code completion, Cargo support, debugging, and a test runner. It has been officially deprecated in favor of JetBrains' RustRover and the official Rust plugin for IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and CLion.

## Use cases
- rust ide support for intellij
- cargo integration in jetbrains ides
- rust code completion and refactoring
- debug rust in clion
- run rust tests from ide
- rust syntax highlighting and inspection

## When to choose
- using an older IntelliJ-based IDE on a platform version that predates the official plugin
- contributing to or forking the open-source plugin codebase
- using open-source or educational IntelliJ IDEs

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use RustRover or the official JetBrains Rust plugin instead
- needing up-to-date Rust toolchain support
- expecting bug fixes or new features

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
