Simple question. What do you use for editing Rust code? Why?

I'll start. I use VS Codium, but every now and then I give Neovim and even GNOME Builder a shot.

My biggest beef with Neovim is that because nothing is built-in, there are so many plugins required to make it feature-competitive with something like VS Codium. There are a million and one updates every single time I open Neovim. Lots of opportunities for something to break. I was using Lazy.nvim, but I am considering trying to do something simple from scratch and only add what I need. Configuration without these sort of Neovim distros is a bit weak though. Another fault I have with Neovim, especially since configurations can get insanely complex.

I am about to just try Vim keybindings in Codium, and see how that goes too.
