It might be easy to send messages with XMPP (as ethersex proves, at
funny typo :-)
least until the manifesto gets in action), but implementing the stuff to receive stuff correctly wastes a lot of totally unnecessary development time, just because that silly need for an XML-parser.
I've spent less than one percent of my total time implementing XMPP with the XMPP parser. And I insisted on writing my own parser.
That might mean I spent too much time doing XMPP though.
