MATRIX:
buggy server software, buggy client software. Key management is a nightmare, upstream cares more about bridging other chat services than making a decent cat protocol
XMPP:
spec is defragmented as HELL, so clients implement >10% of the ratified features. That is, if you even can find a client (you cant). Literally the only decent client is a phone app and even then its only if you do 1:1 dms. group chats are a nightmare and rarely work well. Encryption works slightly better if you trust everything implicitly, because if you dont its a nightmare
td;lr le """"open source"""" has failed to make a useable chat service and will continue to fail to do so
