No one is taking xmpp away from your server or the applications that are using it; but take Facebook: did they do any effort of integrating their chat with the Gmail one?
You're missing my point. The previous poster stated that nobody was using XMPP and I was simply stating that wasn't true.
I'm not worried that Google might someone how hack into my server and kill XMPP on that, nor am I commenting on the level of the Facebook Chat integration with the wider XMPP community (in fact the reason I run my own XMPP server was to have a private channel, so I can completely understand why Facebook have chosen to do so as well).
My comment was just stating that XMPP is still widely used - despite other peoples claims that Google were it's only supporters.
