If people can build #bots for shite like #discord, #Telegram, etc. then why not make an actually good client ???

It just makes me wounder: Are modern messengers these days complicated or do the people who have the talent to write such a #MultiProtocolIM chosen that this is stupid and that like myself they'd never touch that shite in their life and make peace with it?
