Well, the use case for Bitcoin is decentralized, censorship resistant, electronic transactions. Ripple is run using a different consensus algorithm, and is effectively managed by a central authority. The point of Bitcoin has very little to do with speeding up transactions, all though this isn't a negative. The point is sending transactions that are very difficult to censor. And yes, it does a very good job of this as there are a whole lot of transactions that governments would love to censor, but they AREN'T being censored, right now.
