I don't like the word "replacement" either. If something works, something works. Very often, it took a lot of time to polish the tool. It won't be easy to recreate all of the functionalities - even if using a new technology making it easier to develop software.

At the same time - I see the list as a testament to enthusiasm about Rust. People use it. People try to reimplement things. Also - it is likely that one day one of these reimplementations will take over (due to performance, functionality, or simply - because of being maintained).
