Competing Standards
XMPP has often been regarded as a competitor to SIMPLE, based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) protocol, as the standard protocol for instant messaging and presence notification.
The XMPP extension for multi-user chat can be seen as a competitor to Internet Relay Chat (IRC), although it is not as widely used as IRC.
Similarly, the XMPP extensions for publish-subscribe provide many of the same features as the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol.

“With his brows knit, his mind made up, his will resolved and resistless, he advances, crashing his way through the host of weak, half-formed, dilettante opinions, honest and dishonest ways of thinking, with their standards raised, sentimentalities and conjectures, and tramples them all into dust. See how he prevails; you don’t even hear the groans of the wounded and dying.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
