Better in what way? Restic is well written, and is "mature". Rustic, is still considered "beta" software.

It supports append only(which is a MUST for backup software) and is declarative.

I a world of 8 billion people, it's important to realize what one considers a "must" is another person's "don't care". I'm one of them.

You are entitled to your own personal opinion. Backup software must support append only. Otherwise it's a glorified version of rsync(rclone).

restic has supported append-only repositories since before rustic was a thing.

Only for one backend (restic server). It does NOT support append only for S3 or other backends which is the most frequently used scenario.
