No, by "not a good" he probably means that it's not well suited for low battery consumption expected from a mobile device.

Don't push your words on other people :(

The battery argument is just misinformed. The real reason Google dropped XMPP was not a technical one. Yes, Google claimed it was not "cloud ready" at that GoogleIO. The same one where they announced Google Cloud Messaging, based on, wait for it, XMPP.
