Dino 0.3 Release - Dino. Communicating happiness.

A privacy-friendly messaging app for the desktop. It uses the XMPP protocol and provides a clean UI with modern features.

I have Dino installed on my PC, I like it. I wanted to install a XMPP client with OMEMO support and it was a toss-up between Dino and Gajim. Dino won out in the end, because it had fewer dependencies. One thing it doesn’t do well (yet?) is chat history. If you’re chatting on another app, like Conversations, and Dino isn’t open at the time, you won’t see the chat history when you open Dino up again.

As for the other questions: I guess never. All of my chat buddies are techies and know what XMPP is. No idea what an average user would think.

I would say that depends on what client you’re using, rather than the chat protocol itself. You have intuitive and less-than-intuitive apps for both protocols.
