Clarify info about IntelliJ-Rust plugin #20

Closed matklad closed 7 years ago

matklad commented 7 years ago

1) Clarify that plugin is officially supported by JetBrains. This has not technically happened yet, but we are on the way! https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/issues/1385

2) Describe differences in implementation, rather then differences in user-visible features. While the latter is surely more important, it is quite subjective and difficult to keep up to date while both projects are improving.

3) Remove the note about "heavyweight" IDE :) While IDEA is not exactly a feather-weight, it's a problem and not a selling point. The distinguishable feature is that you have complete language model in your editor, so you can operate with high-level structures like methods and expressions, rather then characters and words. But this is also highly subjective :)

Thanks for pining me about this @nrc !
