Matrix. I'd love for it to be XMPP but it's just lacking the market appeal. Riot looks like gaymen shit and is for groups, XMPPs apps focus on one on one discussion which I can just do over text (and encrypt with Silence).
Still want it to be XMPP though. Using it is fun. Riot is a bitch.

We are using Riot in our community. It's pretty neat and usable once you go through the process of verifying the keys.

Privacy-friendly IM program that has most significant chance of being adopted by normies is WhatsApp.

I am between Riot/Matrix and Ring.
Ring have client for desktop and mobile, end to end text and video call. It's just what I want.

if Tox or Tormessenger would want to succeed, they'd need to market it at normies too and provide some eye candy and crap features, and be trendy and "modern"
privacy should be marketed as one of characteristics, not the single one

Doesn't tox fit that description?
qtox, for example, has emoji. I think its main problem right now is groups being fucky and between-device stuff.
Though I cant really see how accounts between devices could possibly be a problem, just copypaste the damn profile file.
