Rust has a lot of good IDE options these days: https://areweideyet.com/
They decided to focus on the "Rust Language Server", which many IDEs use, rather than on one specific IDE.

That list counts vim and emacs as IDEs, and also includes in the list sublime text and vscode.
In the end the only minimum working product IDEs they list (no debugging, no IDE) are vscode, eclipse, visual studio, and intelij.
AFAIK Eclipse does not support rust. At best there's a plugin that adds some support, but last time I've checked it failed to work on my setup. That doesn't leave many viable options on the table.

I'm not an Eclipse user, but in my understanding, it's grown quite a bit since then.
