From Matrix to Facebook Messenger and Telegram.

There are three massive issues:

1. Servers implement incompatible sets of XEPs and often fail to federate some stuff;

2. Clients are shit (especially when it comes to OMEME'o);

3. Lack of expected features like normal filesharing.

Every now and then I encounter a thread on fedi where someone whines that certain combinations of clients cannot talk to each other with OMEMO and this is funny as hell.

Matrix is the only one that I consider an actual alternative to XMPP.

Personally I think as of right now the technical implementations of XMPP are much better so I still consider it the better option. Although I use both Matrix and XMPP.
