The world has also moved beyond just text 20 years ago and we were all supposed to switch to Jabber/XMPP. And yet here I am using IRC as much as ever. If I end up using Matrix it will probably be from my favorite IRC client through some kind of gateway, just like all the IM protocols that have come and gone over the decades.

Nothing wrong with that, hooray for open standards that welcome bridging and interconnectivity (I'm looking at you, Discord).

But you have to admit, irc is a tiny tiny part of IM usage popularity wise, and it's not for no reason.

People still use Usenet, which doesn't mean it's superior to http+html.
