That was Walter's statement, with which you agreed, and with which I strongly disagree.
Maybe I overgeneralized. The Rust debugger story indeed sucks and I mostly use printf! I interpreted "a debugger is only good for..." to be all debuggers. And I don't think that's true. Which is why I gave a Visual Studio/C++ example.
2019 won't be the year Rust's IDE story gets good. But maybe 2020? People are laying the groundwork. I'm hopeful.

I'm very hopeful 2019 will see some major improvements in that domain. Some IDEs such as Qt Creator just added support for the language server protocol [1] which already supports Rust. Thus the critical groundwork is already being deployed, albeit some work still needs to be done. [1] https://langserver.org/ https://langserver.org/
