Intellij-rust: Is the independent ide in the plan?

At this moment we don't have a plan to create Rust IDE because we can't come up with what additional value it can bring to end users.
Let's imagine potential Rust IDE. It:

• would be typical small IDE (like CLion, PyCharm, etc) with bundled Rust plugin. It wouldn't bring additional quality, extended Rust support and so on. Of course, you wouldn't have to install Rust plugin manually that may be essential for beginners in IntelliJ world.
• must have a debugger. But currently, the native debugger is a paid feature in IntelliJ ecosystem. So this IDE would be also paid
• shouldn't have bundled support of other languages like C++, Python or JavaScript (most popular languages used along with Rust). Of course, in such case, you would be able to install Python and JavaScript plugins but there isn't the corresponding plugin for C/C++. So such IDE loses integration with C++. Otherwise, it would be almost identical with CLion + Rust plugin

So, it would bring almost nothing compared with combination of CLion + Rust plugin (or even would lose something) but require to spend additional resources to support this new product. I think it's more reasonable to use these resources to develop Rust plugin itself
