It's bad because people that write C++ for a living got all the joy and happiness sucked out of them and since Rust is in a similar playing field regarding performance, they can't say that they need to use C++ for performance reasons and therefore would admit that all the pain and suffering would be for nothing if they let one good word regarding Rust stay uncontested on the Internet.

I don't even like Rust that much but it's like Stockholm Syndrome is a requirement to have a positive opinion regarding C++.
