As a Rust user outside of Mozilla, it's very good. Rust would have had a hacked-on OO system solely in order to implement the DOM in Servo if browser engine hackers were the only ones with a voice. :P
It's fair to be concerned at the potential evolution of a language that doesn't have a BDFL (I myself came to Rust from Python, after all), but in practice I've come to trust the Rust devs as having very good taste (objective, I know!) and a strong resistance to maximalism (regardless of what some may claim... the list of features removed from the language is longer than the list of features that it has!).
