To the author, I actually used RustDT for a while and liked it. I gave up on it when I found it was supported by only one person. I predicted that you would lose interest and move on to something else, and my workflow would have then depend on abandonware.

Finally, remember one thing about IntelliJ. It's popular because of Google, and as you have witnessed with Eclipse, Google is fickle. Chasing Google's whims seems like a bad idea in the long run.
