> On linux there is gajim that is "okish"

In my book it only got worse. Way worse. Sure, it looks more familiar to those who is used to iMessage/Whatsapp/Telegram, but I bet it would still look quite alienating for that audience. And for those who remember Gajim 1.x, disastrous UX doesn't outweigh introduction of reactions, history syncing and whatnot. Last time I checked it a couple of months ago:

- It was not possible to close group chat without leaving MUC.

- I had to constantly open separate search dialog to write to someone who's already in my roster but is not in the list of active chats.

- Speaking of active chats: what annoys me the most about modern IM clients (and that includes Gajim 2.x) is that list of chats is sorted by the last activity date. I don't even know how Whatsapp/Telegram users live with this, I got so fed up with hovering my mouse/finger over one chat and tapping it only for the whole thing to reorder in the last jiffy and opening something completely different, I just dropped my account from one of those centralized mass-market services altogether. It is that annoying.

- It had lots of smaller warts like nickname autocompletion requiring way more key presses (especially after someone mentions you).
