Yes I’d also say that is a bit biased. Both are good and secure but it is often said Matrix is a bit more complex for non-tech users to set up the trust etc for fully encrypted chatrooms and verification of devices. I’d say XMPP could have a slight edge there on just ease of use. Matrix is normally accepted to be more secure though in terms of advanced options.
One thing I do like with XMPP’s ‘extendable’ options is the XEP-0060 pubsub standard which is not in wide use but allows proper blogging with formatted title, body, etc and Atom feeds. This makes a really good blog whereas Matrix is still largely stuck with the chatroom format, which XMPP also has and which lacks formatting for blogging.
