Pretty neat. You can use this with RPCS3. Unfortunately it's probably a matter of time before Take-Two/Rockstar ruin all the fun as they've historically done with fan projects.

Or they can keep using the same engine with the same issues because gamers will definitely buy their next title en-masse despite the previously mentioned issues. Eg. Starfield

This is the right answer, and I wish more people would grasp that.

Is this IDE going to make it impossible to install the Rust plugin in their other IDEs? Like is there anything preventing a user from continuing to use the Rust plugin and CLion after this has been released?

Almost all of these IDEs have language-specific features in them. PyCharm has Scientific tools (like SciView) for generating graphs using code and data. Rider features a pretty nice Windows Form builder for generating and creating GUIs for applications. Etc.

I can't imagine it being very useful or practical to unload all these language-specific plugins each time you open the program to write in a language that can't utilize those features.

That's correct. Even with this backtrack, it's a safe bet that they'll likely re-introduce this same policy with different wording once they believe their consumers have calmed down.

What an interesting year. This has to be the 4th or 5th large tech-centric company that's

  1. introduced some really shitty policy
  2. pissed off it's consumers
  3. then backtracks to some degree after backlash

Just like every other company that's done this, the backtrack is likely meant to appease the consumers before the policy gets re-introduced later. Perhaps with slightly different wording.

I posted the list of alternatives simply because OP asked for forks.

What’s wrong with Firefox

Me posting this list shouldn't be an implication that I believe Firefox to be bad. I'm offering alternatives as the OP requests.

and how do the forks address those points?

Every one of the links I shared have detailed information about how their product mutates the original Firefox or Chromium browser. Do you really need me to copy-paste that information into a comment?
