On the other-hand, I find it annoying in Rust that an assignment or an unadorned function parameter might result in a move or a copy and you can't tell by the function signature or call site. Instead it depends on whether the type implements the Copy trait, which is a big semantic difference based on "spooky action at a distance".

This is a great example of Rust being easier, even when it just as complex. Both languages don't allow you to use an object after it is moved, so it is the same amount to learn and to think about when writing code, but Rust will give you a helpful compile-time error while C++ will let you blow your foot off.
