Gajim [1] implements a lot of modern XEPs (directly or through easy to install plugins), including OMEMO. I don't know how well it works on non Linux systems (they provide Windows binaries at least).

Yes, feature-wise Gajim is one of the best. Unfortunately the UX is pretty bad :(

Indeed Gajim is quite stuck in the past, and I regret to say this as it hurts me, since I used to be a hardcore fan.

Conversations indeed is very decent.

it works. doesn't feel very native, but then neither do a lot of the big names in chat right now

It is worse, actually, because it uses GTK, and is only available on Linux and Windows (not macOS, although there have been attempts).

Most of the "big names" who provide modern and contemporary desktop IM apps deliver on the 3 platforms (Linux, macOS, and Windows), and use mostly web "technologies" (sometimes "pure browser", and sometimes with electron-like desktop "packaging")... so as a consequence, it is very native, indeed, but it is a generally consistent and continuous UX (user experience) between mobile/tablet and desktop/laptop.
