I have two thoughts on this:

* I very strongly believe we should not consider GTK+ 2 apps. Pidgin
looks worse than Empathy.

* I frankly don't think we need to have a chat app installed by
default. I expect most users would never open Pidgin.

I'd expect most users wouldn't use GNOME Photos/Music/Contacts/Maps, but 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.
