Well there’s an episode in ds9 where a replicator is modified into a teleporter, so in the star trek universe they’re very similar. Replicators reconstitute matter from waste material, and seems to me to be far more likely in the realm of scientific possibility.
Screw teleporters, I want replicators

Aww, that guy’s kinda cute, why wouldn’t I want to let it live in my house with its pals?
It’s just a toy!
I’ve been watching SG1 for the first time and recently watched this episode. Buckets of fun!
All of the above and holodecks please
Yeah, I suppose replicators are an inevitable punctuated step on the way.
Is there much difference between the two logistically? Seems like the replicator is just the second half of a transporter.
