We started using RabbitMQ for several projects last year, and it's been a joy.

Some of that joy is surely just moving from older, creakier solutions. But it hasn't let us down, and everyone is eager to use it for new features or refactoring legacy code.

One big thing I’ve appreciated about RabbitMQ is how well it separates publishing, message routing, and subscription concerns. Plus it’s never been the issue in any infrastructure I’ve encountered it.

RabbitMQ is great. One of the few pieces of software I've used that "just works".

The only downside is once you get message-queue-pilled, you start seeing opportunities to refactor/redesign with message queues everywhere and it can be hard to resist the urge. It really is remarkable how, when used appropriately, message queues can dramatically simplify a system.

Using it in multiple projects: The software itself is great and provides great value.

Only pitfall are the available libs. Especially with the .NET implementation we had quite a lot of trouble. Its not following current .NET patterns and has strange quirks. Does anyone know a good alternative to the "official" one?

+1. Discovered RabbitMQ/AMQP around 2010, since then tech went through a 2015-era wave of HTTP microservices that has come, and, largely gone or moved to MQ.

Given the recent "boom" of MQTT, anyone use RabbitMQ for MQTT clients? Any benefits of using it that way over using MQTT-only brokers?

I do and it's great. It doesn't have some MQTT features sush as persisted messages or QOS 2 but if you don't need that, it's a fine MQTT broker.
