People have different tastes, that's why we need to care about our
diverse Jabber software community; the more projects the better :-)

Nope, there are an unlimited types of end users:
* business end users
** finance end users
*** stock market end users
**** stock market end users that need to comply with the corporate
governance rules of a specific country
**** stock market end users that need to comply with the corporate
governance rules of a specific country and which are disabled
***** stock market end users that need to comply with the corporate
governance rules of a specific country and who are blind
****** stock market end users that need to comply with the corporate
governance rules of a specific country and who are blind and who use
Linux
******* stock market end users that need to comply with the corporate
governance rules of a specific country and who are blind and who use
Linux on very old hardware

IMO it is up to the different Jabber software projects themselves to
define who exactly they will target with their software and who not.
We shouldn't decide the target group of Jabber technologies; let the
projects themselves decide about this so that they can take a niche
that may be even unexploited by proprietary network alternatives...
