without metrics we're only speculating.
Speaking of, usage stats would be really helpful in making these
decisions. Obviously this would all be opt in, but it's better guide than
nothing.

For what it's worth, I don't use any of those apps. I do use the boring
ones that no one seems interested in maintaining or promoting though, like
Evolution and Empathy. Mine genuinely is a "work" station, where I need
email filtering and corporate XMPP and shared calendar support and could
hardly care less about video and music codecs, browsing photos or perusing
a map.
I think it's a shame that Empathy is in a state of neglect and that there's
no decent alternative. For home users it's probably totally unimportant,
but IM does still have a place at work. I'll just install it myself if it's
not installed by default though.
