    Not the ONLY argument, of course!

    OP, thank you for copping to the fact that this is clickbait :-)

    XMPP is missing features and the clients are not in line with modern expectations.

    However, I shut down my Matrix server because it was so buggy and slow that I didn’t trust it anymore. I did an upgrade and - all of a sudden - no one could log in. Syncing took forever, etc.

    Prosody is what I"m running for my XMPP server right now. I had it online in about an hour and it’s been super fast.

    I have some iOS users and they aren’t so happy about XMPP right now, though.

    XMPP definitely needs more work on the clients. Personally, I like my GTK and terminal clients though. So fast and simple.

      Running a huge Python program (which the official software for running a Matrix server is written in) for something that focuses heavily on real-time comms feels awful, the Go rewrite of Synapse can’t hit stable soon enough.
