Is it though? Considering the amount of time you spent in it and the potential productivity increase it might give you I'd consider it very fairly priced.
Expensiveness does not have to mean it isn't priced fairly. Not everyone has the money to drop on tools like it, or is able to get their work to pay for it, even it is worth it.
For some time now I mostly write rust and I'm actually very satisfied with VS Code and rust-analyzer. I tried intelliJ-rust but didn't find it better. To be fair, I haven't tried the new jetbrains rust IDE though.
