Has anyone used kontalk before?

Gajim Dino
  1. 1
    Full featured and easy to use Jabber client
    As for Snikket not having a desktop client, I know that's a limitation for many. However any modern XMPP desktop client should generally work, we usually recommend Gajim or Dino (both have small downsides, but they are under active development and that's good news - e.g. Gajim plans to support calls, and Dino is spreading to new platforms such as Windows). If Kontalk's desktop client is XMPP-compliant, that may even work too, but based on what I've seen of Kontalk's support for modern XMPP features, I suspect it wouldn't be compatible with many things.
