Anecdotally, this is the pain felt most across the entire rust language. There are more ways not to do something than to do something. This makes it hard for beginners to pickup, and difficult for projects to scale on.

I've heard people complain about languages having too many ways to do one thing. Never have I heard the opposite complaint hahaha. You can't please everyone.

That by itself can be interpreted as a good thing -- no Perl TMTOWTDI please.
The "special quality" about Rust that hurts here is that it takes a lot of time going into a dead end before you realize it's a dead end.
