Maybe for the same reason why not every organization chooses to implement their apps using Cordova. Because on an attractive platform I want to offer the best available integration possible. Not a mediocre, "working one", which could be sufficient to some suffering user souls though. Attractive. That was my point in mentioning "differentiation". This argument has been discussed on the list before. @Mark Re Tox [2], I think I saw that before. But what (current) user-facing problems does it solve (apart from Edward Snowden's secure messaging, which *is* important, acknowledged)? Will my wife stop bugging me with "can you finally install Wattsup on your damn fone?" Seriously, integrating all those communication features, including generic SIP and XMPP, seamlessly in Ubuntu Phone would be awesome. That would be a very promising way to go, probably. We don't need extra clients if it's really as advertised, "The relationship of The Tox Project to Tox is analogous to the Linux Foundation's relationship to Linux." [3], let's go for integration if it's that good. What we don't need is another messaging client. We already have Telegram. And the contacts for our kids' sports appointments are not on there, unfortunately.
