Keeping your chats secure is a good idea, but end-to-end encryption is just the beginning of the list of options to consider when picking a messaging app.
What I dislike about XMPP is that the client ecosystem is definitely weaker than DeltaChat. DeltaChat “just works”, and it works incredibly similar and efficient across devices.
But yes, I wouldn’t mind if the world used XMPP instead, honestly.
It also just gets blocked by autocratic firewalls. Deltachat is clutch because it can theoretically run on top of any email host so it’s way more difficult to block.
You can easily redirect xmpp to port 443 which is not blocked by most firewalls. If you have problems with firewalls or public wifis your xmpp server is misconfigured.
xmpp is like if deltachat was good
