What are the main differences between pipewire and pulseaudio? Which one is better? What are other alternative popular sound servers besides these two?

Pipewire seems to do everything better than PulseAudio, in my experience. It’s stable, compatible with PulseAudio and JACK stuff, works for low latency stuff like music production, can be routed flexibly, etc… As someone who used to run a PulseAudio+JACK stack but has since replaced both with just PipeWire, I’m a big fan.
