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).
