If Instant Messaging were a Thing, I'd be happy to use it. But it's not.
IM is twelve things. And they're a different 12 things at different times. And you need to have clients for all of them installed and check all 12 of those clients regularly for messages.
Email, on the other hand, really is a Thing. I can check my mail and be done.
Fix that for IM and I'm there. Or rather, fix that again for IM and convince all the major players not to drop support for the common protocol again and you'll get me back.
