If you want something that's more of a Slack/Discord alternative, gajim is receiving a lot of attention and polish lately, with Dino and Beagle as simpler alternatives. Source: over 1 year ago

I used Pidgin back in the day of AIM and ICQ, but nowadays, for XMPP, there’s Dino and Gajim for desktop and Conversations.im for Android. As far as I know, OTR has been superseded or replaced by OMEMO in most clients. Source: over 1 year ago
