GNOME Builder vs RustRover

GNOME Builder is a free integrated development environment for creating applications for GNOME. It integrates GTK+, GLib, and GNOME APIs, with editing features that include syntax highlighting, side-by-side editors, multi-monitor support, and a code overview mini-map. Git integration includes project cloning, and listed build integrations cover Autotools, Cargo, CMake, Gradle, Meson, Maven, Make, PHPize, and Waf. Code assistance includes Clang- and Python-based auto-completion, semantic highlighting, and diagnostics, plus Vala-based auto-completion and diagnostics. Builder offers live previews for HTML, Markdown, reStructuredText, and Sphinx, as well as optional Vim, Emacs, and SublimeText-style editing. Native applications can use its integrated debugger and software profiler. It supports jhbuild and Flatpak runtimes and integrates with arduino-cli. The app page says releases follow the GNOME schedule, every six months, and links to online help, contribution guidance, and an issue tracker. Builder is available for Linux desktops, with x86_64 and aarch64 builds listed.

RustRover is an IDE for Rust developers to code, test, debug and deploy. Project analysis supports completion, inspections, refactoring, navigation, usage searches and syntax highlighting. Its coding assistance includes context-aware completion and generation, on-the-fly analysis, quick-fixes, smart refactorings and live templates. RustRover can install rustup and helps manage Rust files and crate dependencies in Cargo.toml. It includes debugging, build and testing tools, plus project management and dev container support. Plugins from JetBrains Marketplace and custom repositories can add integrations and other features. RustRover runs on Windows, macOS and Linux; BSD-based operating systems are not supported. New users can try the full-featured IDE for 30 days. The non-commercial plan costs nothing for learning, self-education, qualifying open-source contributions, content creation and hobby development, and requires a JetBrains Account. Commercial individual use costs $6.90 a month. The non-commercial tier may send anonymized usage statistics and collects detailed code-related data by default, which users can disable in settings.
