XMPP would be viable if it had a better iOS client. Some of my contacts switched to iOS and every app we tried wasn't as good as "Conversations" on Android.

Is Monal not good? I don’t know since I don’t use or recommend Apple devices, but I saw they were putting in GSoC bids for features.

They did try using monal, the main issue with many of these clients was reliable push notifications. The other was it just not being as polished.

Perhaps the state of things are different. This was about a year and a half back.
