It'd take the flawed XMPP protocol any day over the ad-hoc implementation of Matrix, which hardly even deserves to be called a protocol. Matrix feels like something made by making things up as the wrote the code, there is no coherency at all.

XMPP didn't really pitch any client or server protocol breaking changes. Since the messages themselves were just addressed XML elements, we were able to do revisions over time, such as the first group chat being replaced by MUC or adding in the ability for XHTML-formatted rich text.
