I think you do have point here. For starting jabber/xmpp user it is very difficult to choice a client. But just to show the top client per OS, is not a fair option to all the developers out there.
So a nice certification of jabber/xmpp client would be a nice option. This will give potential users a good view on what each client has to offer. Because on of the great thing of jabber/xmpp is that the protocol is open. This has de disadvantage that many client will be developed, sum not as good as others. Maybe it is also a idea to order de client into group for there users. So you will get a group of client which are target the business users, and other the home user. Or even good distinction between easy to use client and client aimed more at the professional jabber/xmpp user.

Please disregard this comment, I missed the little box at the beginning of the page. That's a nice addition.
