Matter replicators you would hope would bring about post scarcity and the kind of society you see in Star Trek, I have my doubts one would ever be developed without greed as a motivation though
Short of changing human nature I don't think even with all tthat tech we'd end up being a fair society, people would hoard energy, replicator tech, political power etc (unless it's so simple people could build them themselves I suppose)
