Right now, whether XMPP or Matrix is the better choice depends on your priorities, and what kind of UX you are trying to replace.
Matrix is designed to decentralise chat room services, like IRC, Slack Discard or TeleGrim. One-to-one chats are an afterthought. They work (with E2EE by default), but with limitations.
XMPP is the opposite. It was designed to replace the one-to-one Instant Messaging popular in the late 90s. Group chats are an afterthought. They work, but with limitations.
