Multiple device support and history synchronization between devices really are table stakes to me, especially since I tend to spend a lot of time checking messages and chatting from mobile devices these days..
That distributed social network thing sounds quite exciting, and very much in a similar vein as Matrix. Does it have a website/github repo yet?
We've definitely found its not always easy to balance a philosophically pure/technically nice solution with one that actually has a usable UX. Although it sometimes seems that half the battle is figuring out what actually is a usable UX...

I know where you're coming from.
We're working (well, it's just two guys for the moment) on the first version and we're planning to launch for early feedback soon. I'll be posting it as a Show HN, but in case it gets buried I can put you on our notify list - just shoot me an email.
