Many of the popular rust cli tools like ripgrep, exa, delta, etc -do- have package manager install options.

How dare people writing cli tools not package them conveniently for my distro. The horror of using cargo instead of cloning the source and praying make/meson/etc works.

Feel free to package and maintain these tools yourself for your distro if you want.

I don't know about you, but in my experience, getting Cargo to work has been a much bigger pain than make/meson et al.

I've never had any issues with cargo. I use rustup to manage my rust toolchains and cargo for the most part.
