I wish Telepathy got more popularity, it seemed to be a better architecture than Pidgin/libpurple with the protocol support in separate processes etc.

Well, me too, having spent the best part of half a decade working on it! But I broadly agree with Rob McQueen's assessment of how the architecture turned out to be fatally flawed. http://web.archive.org/web/20210427061305/https://mail.gnome...
The crashes I still experience in libpurple backends today still lead me to prefer the Telepathy architecture.
