What's wrong with XMPP?

It evolves too slow.

I mean, in so much less time, Matrix has just got better.

Meanwhile, essential XEPs for modern usability (as the 0503) are undervalued because they're all old and rigid people who refuse do to (justified) changes.

Interesting.

AFAIK Matrix still has the same decryption issues. I won't go into all of its other criticism (unless the thread goes that way).

But I have observed that Movim for instance has matured a lot over the past year. It now has communities and has added many other user experience features.

Yeah, but Movim (and Gajim) are the exception that confirms the rule. Movim do implement that XEP, at least, but Gajim has only been discussing it for a while without any real conclusion.

In short, this comment

Edit: But yeah, the Olm/Megolm issue hasn't been properly addressed, but as for the other features they look like they're speedrunning while doing them just right.

Nobody to talk to

Seriously. Is this a protocol issue?
