I know it. Change isn't easy. I literally just went through it last month with #WormBase, where I shut of a service that has been running for 20 years (and found out that there was one bit of functionality not replicated elsewhere--oops).

BUT. I'm not thrilled with #Gitter's migration to #matixDotOrg. Their migration documentation really is lacking WRT desktop clients (maybe they aren't ready yet? Good time to pull the trigger then, yah?). Anyway, I'm sure it will get better.
