I've long been fascinated with XMPP, because it is so flexible. Rather than focusing solely on a specific purpose (like IM), Junction exposes a middleware framework similar to Express so that you can develop applications on top of XMPP.
I've been happy with the approach, and I'd be curious to get feedback from other developers who've had similar thoughts regarding XMPP.

It might also interest Node.js developers to know that this article was written as part of a tutorial on writing a Google Chat bot with Node.js. To see part one of the article please see the following Hacker News post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5175913
