This has mostly been my experience too. I like using Rust because it reduces the cognitive load I have to deal with for many things (performance/safety are nice, but not a priority).
As you've said, finding great libraries is easy, and so is adding/building them. I find this a nice change from e.g. Python (where there are so many way of different competing ways dealing with packaging/dependencies).
Also thanks to the error handling, sum types and the like, I don't have to worry so much that I've deal with all errors, handled all enum variants, etc., the compiler takes care of that.
I'm not too concerned with performance or safety (since my code hasn't been seen very often).
I use rust just because it has a lot of "libraries that help me develop".
While other language libraries have a poor search experience and ranking system, Rust has a great library search system.
I use it because I don't have to read blog posts like C/C++ or java to find libraries that help me develop, or wade through unnecessary libraries like C# or go, I can use the rankings, and it has a good documentation system.
