A boy with a hammer sees everything as a nail. A member of XSF has a clear
procedure, so he sees everything as a XEP.

However, imagine a fresh developer, who wants to create a messaging app,
and has these available sets of documents:

https://xmpp.org/extensions/
https://matrix.org/docs/spec/
https://docs.rocket.chat/

Which platform would he select to create an app? Why he is least likely to
choose XMPP?
