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)

Understandable. Though I'm less interested in learning another code base and wish to start from scratch to learn the protocol and the programming language.
