I agree, I use xmpp all the time, but the clients are really underwhelming... Not sure how it's so complicated to give them a facelift to update them while keeping the existing functionality. This reminds me of the debates about the #blender ui in the past, where gray beards argued that the interface was just fine....aesthetics matter;)
@poVoq
Same with K9. But they did finally a really good facelift.
@Samsy
I'll need to take a look, I haven't used k9 in ages
Its one of the best apps actually. Swipe gestures, openpgp, material you (?).
@Samsy
Wow, you were right very nice. Amazing what a little polish can do.
Another app that transformed with UI updates is gajim, the desktop xmpp client.
