I don't know what kind of answer you expect for such a question, especially on the mailing list on one of the tools. "better" without context does not mean much. Better for what? It depends on what you want to do with the tool. Many companies use both actually.

RabbitMQ and Kafka are very different tools, even if most people put them in the "messaging middleware" category. There are tons of comparisons on the internet, many of them biased and/or missing the point of the fundamental differences between the 2 tools. You can make your own idea by googling "rabbitmq vs kafka".

Note RabbitMQ 3.9 (due with year) will introduce a "replay" feature (being able to read messages in the data structure without removing them), which will make RabbitMQ more comparable to Kafka for some use cases.
