Good reply, thanks. I am very pro #XMPP. Which is also why I yearn for a couple real areas of improvement & focus:

* MIX. there's a new standard for group-chats/rooms that is far less ad-hoc/special-case, that uses other XMPP extensions (XEPs) very well & enables features people expect in chat these days. it's a good standard. MIX (XEP-0369) support is still alpha level or non-existent. this is needed for a quality experience, with reactions, chat history, & as a technical advancement out of a bad shifty early legacy solution.

* Video. There are not a lot of video supporting clients. I think the spec is mostly ok for 1:1 video. But "Muji" multi-user video got demoed a decade ago & works but is more or less unimplemented. This is not cool. I think Muji also should probably be rebuilt anyways atop MIX.

* web integration. i'd like to be able to use my XMPP account online in a well-defined way. xmpp should start to define ways to make user accounts also OpenID Connect (OIDC) providers, & begin to define interoperation for webrtc & XMPP & the web to work together harmoniously.
