Hi tools team,

Prompted by Glen I'm sending my feedback regarding the IM tool I've
used at IETF 110.

My choice was Zulip.  I use it daily at work and have used it at other
conferences.  I have given it a spin for this meeting mainly because
I have it open on my desktop anyway and I didn't want to fire up yet
another IM client.  I sort of like it, though I'm not enthusiastic about
its UX - it's a bit too structured to feel really natural IMO.  But once
you get used to it, it works fine and the threading system has its
merits.  I cannot say if threading (which is, I think, its most visible
feature) was or wasn't useful in the context of the IETF meeting because
there is no 1:1 mapping of that into XMPP AFAIK?

I also shortly ran it side by side with my good old Adium for a while
to have a point of comparison, and Zulip felt much smoother.

Summarising: better than XMPP but nothing revolutionary.

cheers!
