They said XMPP improved afterward. The point is a combined effort would be in better shape than XMPP or Matrix now.

The problem with XMPP was every client implemented different parts of the standard. The problem with Matrix is every client implements different parts of the standard.[1]

Not being able to share Rick and Morty stickers or have a group call is fine to miss out on.

Having to choose from multiple encryption addons to get started even chatting, that's not a comparable experience.

I miss XMPP, but it's time to let go.
