For that matter, what's so innovative about writing yet another XMPP
server or client? ;-)
Well, for one thing, there's a reason I'm coding for the client with
the largest established userbase on the Mac, instead of rolling my
own :).
However, UIs for IM clients can still do something the others haven't
done before, there's a lot of flexibility. Additionally, XMPP can be
used for chat systems embedded in other applications (MMORPG,
collaboration software, etc).
On the server side, I don't see much point in it though, maybe if you
believe you can do it better than anybody else (like, implementing
PEP properly).
