It's very easy to setup multiple consumers with RabbitMQ topics though and SQS is a very basic queueing system that just doesn't support much.

To me, Kafka is just meant for much larger magnitudes of scale and persistence (of the entire log of messages for however long you need) as a core feature.

Google's PubSub is still the best blend of traditional queue semantics with Kafka scale and persistence though.
