> So why stick with ChatMail? That's the question I'm asking.
because it works, and it works very good, the chatmail hosters are very happy, they need to do zero maintenance, accounts are created and removed automatically, server storage is super low, same for RAM and CPU usage
it is just not worth the effort porting Delta Chat to use XMPP because in fact it probably only make it worse than now, and anyways it will not be compatible with other xmpp clients
