As someone coming from C I find the stdlib is fine. It has all the datastructures you need for the vast majority of code. It doesn't have very domain specific things like the kind of structures a text editor might use, for instance. That's fine. As for the quality of crates, yes, this is the case in any language. Using a library includes the responsibility of making sure the quality is up to scratch. This is not unique to Rust.
