I had the same question. This seemed to be their answer:
> A number of clients already exist for the XMPP protocol, however Dino sets a different focus. Existing clients target tech-savvy power users. The XMPP ecosystem lacks a client that is enjoyable to use while providing the features people expect from a modern chat application.

I'm sure one needs to be more tech-savvy to use Dino than to use Pidgin :), but I understand they were likely not thinking about Pidgin, but it does exist.
