Definitely!

I had a thread in a Mac users forum,
explaining everything I could/knew about Jabber.

Of course they had heard about it
but had no account.

One of them decided he agreed with all my arguments,
and said "OK, I'm gonna go create an account".

He search the web form on jabber.fr,
and jabber.fr is just a Jabber server,
and has no web server running on that domain.

He then searched on jabber.org but did not find better.

He concluded subscribing to a proprietary and closed IMP system
was far easier than Jabber.

In their mind, they have to do this:
web form, validate, e-mail received, reply or follow the link,
download, install, launch, refill the form, validate, there it is...

And they think it is easier than the Jabber way:
download, install, fill form, validate, there it is...
