Conversations is a great XMPP client. It works very well, support inline images, stream resumption and everything.

The OMEMO standard brings the Signal protocol to XMPP and it works great. I use Conversations for my hacker friends who refuse to install Signal (GCM dependency!) and surprisingly, I'm not missing a lot.

Now we only need a desktop client that supports the same features... And iOS (but TextSecure is making progress there)

For iOS ChatSecure was just released with OMEMO support https://chatsecure.org/blog/chatsecure-v4-released/

Regarding desktop clients, I can recommand Gajim which also has a OMEMO plugin.
