I always say: building a chat system is easy, building a good one is hard. XMPP just makes it easier to skip a few steps in architecture, protocol design, and implementation. We apparently don't succeed in making that point clear enough.

pep.: As far as I know, it was originally designed to have anything about XMPP people, to know who they are. We can see from time to time non XMPP related subjects.
