Do we know if Adium/pidgin are likely to update to use that API, or is it too early to say?

I echo other sentiments here: what exactly is broken about XMPP that companies keep moving away?

  • Somebody already said it: while using the chat through a different client than their web chat, you're not looking at their ads, you're not installing their proprietary mobile app, and so on.
