I don't think there is any good IDE that offers debugging and good IDE experience on windows (msvc) at the moment. CLion has had debugging but not for msvc last time I checked.

Perhaps VSCode can be combined with Rust-analyzer to give language support on par with IntelliJ-rust, but also a msvc debugger? That would basically make windows development "feature complete" (and free!).

rust-analyzer works well on Windows; I don't do a ton of debugging though. (I have been windows only for the past few years, but am not really an IDE person)
