It's WAY too late. For me the main feature in an IM client these days is not whether it's decentralized or XML based. It's whether or not it supports audio and video conferencing. I'm saving hundreds of dollars in long distance (including international) charges by using MSN Messenger. I can not migrate to a client that doesn't support audioconferencing at the very least.
