I feel like clients and servers have fixed most of these. I've never had to do anything to have chat logs, all devices just have it thanks to MAM, file sharing is done with HTTP Upload, encryption is done with OMEMO (axolotl/Olm, although this one is still making its way into clients many support it already), voice and video is still a problem but lots of XMPP based services exist to make it easier (Jitsi Meet). It's only not a problem with Matrix yet because they have a single client; if they ever get as popular as XMPP and have many, they'll have the same fragmentation issues. What the XSF needs is one really good desktop client to compete; something with a feature set comparable to Convesations on Android, and good looks to boot.

>I've never had to do anything to have chat logs, all devices just have it thanks to MAM Android has Conversations, which has pretty good XEP support. But I can count on one hand the number of desktop clients that support this, and none of them are Pidgin[0] or Adium, which are probably the two most popular desktop XMPP clients (though it's hard to know for sure). Gajim supports it but not for multi-user chats[1]. Chat history is certainly not a solved problem overall in XMPP. >It's only not a problem with Matrix yet because they have a single client Matrix has lots of clients, the difference is it has an official reference client that supports (almost) all the protocol's features.
