How many of the Apache Kafka issues are adressed by switching to Apache Pulsar?
I skipped learning Kafka, and jumped right into Pulsar. It works great for our use case. No complaints. But I wonder why so few use it?

StreamNative seems like an excellent team, and I hope they succeed. But as another comment has written, something (puslar) being better (than kafka) has to either be adopted from the start, or be a big enough improvement to change— and as difficult and feature-poor that Kafka is, it still gets the job done.
I can rant longer about this topic but Pulsar _should_ be more popular, but unfortunately Confluent has dominated here and rent-seeking this field into the ground.
Just because something is 10-30% better in certain cases almost never warrants its adoption, if on the other side you get much less human expertise, documentation/resources and battle tested testimonies.
This, imo, is the story of most Kafka competitors
