Matrix is much more than another chat protocol like IRC or XMPP: the "15th protocol" argument is a bit unfair, although we know it well. At its core, Matrix is a decentralised JSON database with eventual consistency, open federation, and pubsub semantics - if you must compare, FMUC or BuddyCloud would be a better comparison. Skipping redundant layers of XMPP in favour of pure native HTTP+JSON is not necessarily a bad thing. It's a shame people are hostile to folks experimenting with new protocols! After all, once upon a time 16 years ago, XMPP was the new experiment.
