What's your favourite under-rated Rust crate and why?
serde-plain for easily converting enums to/from strings same as Serde usually does, but by themselves.

What's the coolest Rust project you've seen that made you go, 'Wow, I didn't know Rust could do that!'?
Hope you are aware that structopt is in maintenance mode and is merged into clap as of v3.

Task manager for Linux using rust
As I understood you need to implement a command line argument parser for that you can use clap https://github.com/clap-rs/clap or structopt https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt.

I feel like discovering moves like this is a weakness in the ecosystem today. You can check out some of our discussion on raising visibility

clap 3.1: A step towards 4.0
Something I've been giving thought to is how to help structopt users discover that clap3 is their upgrade path. We've put notices in the structopt repo but cargo upgrade and docs.rs won't say anything. See https://github.com/TeXitoi/structopt/issues/525 for more ideas we're considering.

ANN: clap 3.0.0-rc.0!
For myself, I have found serde.rs really useful for undertanding their derives while I've always been frustrated with finding anything in structopt's documentation, so I modeled it more off of serde. This ended up both being in structure and not being in docs.rs. I think it really was the structure that was the frustration point for me but there was interest elsewhere in moving stuff out of docs.rs.

fncmd: Command line interface as a function.
I think it would be nice to have a comparison to clap-derive and/or structopt in the README, as that is what I expect most users would compare this to. The subcommand handling looks especially cumbersome compared to deriving on structs and enums.

Linkerd 2.11 now includes a Kubernetes controller written in Rust
However, the one place I'm a little curious to rewrite things is the CLI... every time we have to deal with cobra I long for Rust's structopt.

SwayWS - a sway workspace tool which allows easy moving of workspaces to and from outputs
It is written in Rust using the structopt and swayipc crates. It is published on crates.io. The repository is hosted on GitLab. The repository is mirrored on GitHub.
