Has anyone had experience with qdrant (https://qdrant.tech/) as a vector store data and can speak to how txtai compares?

txtai is not (just) a vector store, it's a full-fledged RAG system. Apples and oranges if you ask me.
I agree that the comparison between langchain/llamaindex is probably the better one.

With that being said, txtai has a much more in-depth approach with how it builds it's data stores vs just assuming the underlying systems will handle everything. It supports running SQL statements and integrates the components in a way other RAG systems don't. It was also a vector store before it had a RAG workflow. There are years of code behind that part.

It is very impressive :)
