XMPP felt great when compared to Matrix. Matrix was in a bad state some years ago when I hosted it for a while, and seems like it still is the same messy state. I avoid it as much as possible but for some reason there are communities using it.

At this point it should just die so people would be motivated to replace it with something better.

The "for some reason", at least for my group, is because it's rock solid for us. We have no reason to want to change, so of course we are using it.

People are motivated to replace it with something better, it's called Matrix 2.0.

    Which perfectly fits the Matrix ethos of everything constantly being rewritten or replaced with something new that only implements half the features before the original thing is ever finished.

    Do they plan to fix the fundamental issues of Matrix in 2.0 or should I wait for 3.0?

        I could, that's why the link has a few more words about the issues with matrix.

    I tried it a year ago when it was introduced, it did not work. Is it stable now?

      Matrix 2.0?

      Not quite yet, but it was promised that the next release will be Matrix 2.0

        I guess it was the Element X client that was advertised as Matrix 2.0 client and that did not work.

          It does (now), been using it daily for months now
