Can you recommend a few? I haven't looked into XMPP in detail for a while, because the clients I've been using are "good enough and I didn't bother with mobile), but it seems like I'm missing out on good things ;)

Well I can recommend Conversations for Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.siacs.conve... which have some really nice features and is fitting well with Movim.

For the desktop there is no real "modern" client yet, unfortunately. But I've ported Movim using Electron :) There is already a Ubuntu/Debian version and the package is here https://github.com/edhelas/movim_electron.

For desktop, I've heard of Adium for Mac. For Linux, the one with most decent features support is Gajim, but it is far from being perfect.
