That's a big of an open question. Like I said, a lot of the best 
villains have charisma. And, indeed, at the end of Dead Man's Chest, 
Barbosa returns as something of a hero. It's not like there aren't 
scenes where Jack is the enemy.

I think perhaps what it comes down to is that Jack seems averse to 
killing people, whereas Barbosa does not hesitate. Perhaps that's it.
