I haven't had any bad experiences getting people to adopt Conversations. Maybe you could be more specific about what particular aspects of Conversations they have issues with?

I agree that the XMPP community could make a prettier clients page with screenshots and such, like Matrix has. There are at least as many XMPP clients under active development as there are Matrix clients.

True that is another thing the XMPP community could work on. We do have compliance suites that will tell you if your client meets a certain "coherent standard":
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0423.html#im
However, we haven't done enough work to advertise this or certify clients, so it's not yet easy to benefit from this work as a person new to XMPP.
There seem to be enough people using XMPP for it to continue on an upward trajectory. It might not see the hockey stick growth that other protocols do, but it also hasn't flamed out, which I fear may happen with some of the newer, more hyped protocols.
