It depends on perspective, I guess. After all, they say

> While we hit some speed bumps, I want to emphasize that our experience with Rust was very positive overall. It’s an incredibly promising project with a solid core and a healthy community. I’m confident these issues will end up being solved over time.

Rust is still a relatively new language, and most of the cons list fits in with that. They also talked about how they worked around these issues, and what we're doing to address them, which is pretty wonderful.

I'm also happy to talk more about any of the specific points here to add more context; for example, the comment about error-chain and failure is spot on. error-chain is the older, more battle tested library, failure is the newer one that's try to address some issues with it. The ecosystem is still shaking out. (I personally love failure.)
