@daniel to be fair, while I agree with your other points, I'm also pretty sure (with apologies to the other client authors, who suffer from the normal lack of funding/participation, not their fault) that Conversations is the only app that supports XMPP that has a decent UI too. I think I would honestly take one client per platform that was "OK" over that.

@sam There's also Dino.

But that's pretty much it.

@drq @daniel yah, Dino's what I use. It's probably the closest after Conversations, but the UX leaves a lot to be desired and there are lots of little UI issues (ie. don't use it for a day or two, then enable it… your entire screen will be covered with notifications and everything will lock up while all the chats flicker new messages constantly as it downloads everything said in every chat room you've ever missed). Also adding contacts and starting chats is pretty hidden, etc.

@sam
Gajim was nice, but the UI became less usable after they redesigned the buddy list view. But feature-wise, I don't know a better desktop client.
I'd wish Pidgin would implement the important XEPs for modern XMPP. Or maybe PSI could make a comeback.
