With all due respect, I don't think it would be fair to call the quantum project a rewrite. They're incrementally replacing components, and it's not like the original code is abandoned in favour of Servo. It's borne fruit already and looks to allow some massive improvements going forward. Chrome is big, but so was IE back in the day and I still use FF. Not because of a moral attachment, but because it's the browser I like using the most.

Not to mention Rust is already successful, with several large companies using it in production. I expect it will continue to garner interest, especially if the fearless concurrency model keeps improving. Zero cost futures are pretty amazing.
