    RabbitMQ doesn't natively support MQTT.

    RMQ supports MQTT 3.1 via a plugin, so I find it odd someone would naysay a plugin-based product for lacking native support. Also, it has nothing to do with being a better/worse alt. *I don't have a horse in this race; I just hate myopic contributions.
