Tabletop Simulator is a novelty that has not yet proven itself to be useful or popular for Chess variants. If you prefer 3D graphics, you might consider its ability to use them an advantage. In all other respects, it has no advantage over Game Courier with respect to Chess variants. Looking at which definition of rusty might make the most sense of your claim that Game Courier is more rusty, "stiff with age or disuse" is the only one that could apply. Game Courier is older than Tabletop Simulator, but it is regularly used and improved. The original idea behind Game Courier was to provide a 2D tabletop simulator for Chess variants, but it has since grown into a lot more.
