A Year Using Matrix and Riot

For 1-to-1 chat, XMPP seems way better suited. However, Matrix feels like a really nice IRC successor. I hope both can live in a somewhat symbiotic relationship.

Yeah, that's their plan, I think. Bridges to other services instead of 'walled gardens' https://fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/matrix/

What makes XMPP "better suited" for 1-on-1 chats? I use both XMPP and Matrix for both 1-on-1 and group chats and found neither lacking in any case.

What I meant is rather "chatting with friends and family, Facebook style", as opposed to "chatting in organized teams and groups, Slack style".
