What are your favorite clients? My issue with XMPP is that many clients lack modern conveniences, and it's not easy to get people on board for that reason.


Which modern conveniences do you find are lacking, out of curiosity?


- modern, clean and pretty UI

- simple encryption support. should be able to set it up with a couple clicks and don't have to worry about it

- seamless synchronization between devices

- quick push notifications that don't require me to have something cluttering up my notification bar forever

these are just some of the points I could think about at the top of my head. the majority of clients have one or a couple of them, but there's no client to my knowledge which has all of them.

I have yet to find one that doesn't have awkward push notifications. like come on, do you really think I want an ugly notification turned on at all times watching for messages?
