Is Jabber and XMPP up to date in general?

Question

XMPP

I know there was already a similar question a few years ago .
And the answers to it are not that ambiguous, but not fully disclosed. During this time, information has already accumulated and it is possible to give an unambiguous answer. I recently started creating an XMPP wrapper API and began to doubt its relevance and relevance.
What do you think of Jabber and XMPP in particular?

Answer 1

As a protocol for instant messengers, XMPP is great, but as a means of capturing the instant messaging market and monetizing the corresponding traffic, it is absolutely unsuitable. So for specialized solutions, it is suitable, and attempts to make a replacement for it, for example, Viber, will fail.
