What makes an XMPP client better than others? (programming.dev)

Hey all I'm working on writing an XMPP client and just doing some casual research. What would you say makes a client better than others? Cross platform? Native/web client?

I'm trying to decide if I focus on just a desktop client - which would reduce the scope, but it might be better to focus on a something more web based (I.e electron)

Convenience. And supporting modern standards (XEPs). It includes support for E2EE (OMEMO), history fetching and search, image and links preview. And stickers :)

History fetching would require support from the server side I assume? I've never used stickers myself before, is that a common feature request?

Yes, particularly https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html

Movim has stickers, but I don't know any other clients with stickers.

monocles will use stickers, and even (kinda) can import signal ones - I imported the mastodon ones recently, and they worked. Not tried any others.
