Yeah. And it just worked. It took me two hours to find a Jabber client that
actually worked (Psi) and get Psi working with OpenPGP support, and even then
it was just weird, from a UX perspective.
But there's also one other thing, and that is that there was no other real
competitor. So:
* Greenfield advantage
* Better UX
* Better out-of-the-box experience.
