OTEL metrics are a bit awkward, but they work just fine with Prometheus.

Jaeger uses the OTLP protocol nowadays. So it _is_ OTEL.

What, so people don't like OTel, but they like Jaeger, which implements an OTel spec? (I'm a noob to this subject, if that wasn't obvious.)

Yep.

Kinda like people hating Obamacare but loving the ACA.

Jaeger does not implement all the OTEL features, though. It's specifically focused on traces rather than metrics.

Jaeger doesn't really implement an otel spec - Otel wrapped itself around Jaeger.

I believe you can still use Zipkin with Jaeger
