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

Pulseaudio was always buggy for me. I’ve only tried pipewire recently and so far I’ve had no issues.
The only downside is that (from having to do so much troubleshooting) I know more or less how to configure and tweak pulseaudio. If I ever decide to do weird sound things with pipewire, I’m starting from scratch.
