Realsense vs Kinect

Does anyone have advice on Using Realsense Camera’s vs Kinect? Many of the tutorials I’ve been wanting to try use Kinect. But despite 3 different devices and usb interfaces, I was never able to get it working. My realsense (455) plugs in easily and is far less clunky.

I suspect the kinect has a better SDK once you get it working. Are there benefits/capabilities I am missing out on? Is there any advice on substituting Kinect for realsense?
