I actually use rust-analyzer, but I’m not a hardcore Rust developer, and I wasn’t even aware there were two plugins. I picked the first result off of Google. The fact that the first result is a bad plugin seems like an issue with the Rust community.


It’s an issue with VSCode, not the the Rust community. Microsoft is pushing their developed-in-house Rust plugin as the default.

I find this comment very confusing. Neither plugin was developed by Microsoft.

The "rust" extension generally comes up first because it's older and has significantly more downloads. That being said, it's true that imho everyone should use the new one.


You’re right. I was simply mistaken and thought it was published by Microsoft.
