How do you define if a communication protocol is dead? I use XMPP everyday, it works just well.

Also, I doubt that Google wanted to destroy XMPP. They simply needed a chat then noticed it's crap for mobile devices. They wanted to offer their users seemless migration to the new proprietary protocol.

I was sad that Google stopped to use an official standard, but there are many better free options left.

  XMPP works great on mobile devices today. Google could have easily developed and published such extensions themselves.
