Actually a mixture. Some shortcomings have vanished because while they're problems, they're solved problems. And adoption etc, too.

I'd note that I was never against XMPP, though; I just don't see the need to pretend it's perfect. I do, however, object when problems are claimed for it that it doesn't have.

Makes sense. Is there an up-to-date reference on the problems it currently has? I'm not talking whatever technical papers or submissions to committees. More an article like the one I cited.
