The OMEMO dev’s push to get many clients to drop OTR support has seriously fragmented the XMPP world :(
It seems like there must be a modern client that supports both OTR and OMEMO, but, I haven’t found one.

it’s the network effect; if you know a bunch of people using OTR and you switch to something that doesn’t support it then you can’t talk to those people anymore.
When OTR support started going away (as a result of the campaign against it by the OMEMO guy) a lot of people stopped using XMPP rather than adopt one of the OMEMO clients that existed at the time. (In the pre-omemo days xmpp+otr was my primary means of daily communication; today I hardly ever use xmpp at all anymore. 😞)
I am pretty dissatisfied with all of the messaging solutions that are popular today, so I’m thinking about giving OMEMO another shot… but asking around I’m realizing that I actually still might know more OTR users than OMEMO users! (hence the question in this post.)
