Yeah, frankly I think the technical specifics of XMPP are why I need about ten incompatible messaging apps with mostly the same features. It simply has never been straightforward enough to do the right thing. Unlike with functioning protocols like HTTP and SMTP. XML was a fundamentally poor choice for wire and processing efficiency, XEPs don't get ratified quickly enough, and there's a chicken-and-egg problem between server and client software in implementing them even if they do.
