Matrix, instead of XMPP? It looks like XFCE is losing their way.

Does that mean there will be an XFCE Matrix client? Looking at Wikipedia, it appears that current clients are either KDE/QT or big and slow web based clients.
There are no plans, that I am aware of, for an Xfce-specific Matrix client.
Currently, I am using gomuks, a Go-based terminal client and it is working ok for me, so far. I've also been using the Element app; but, it it too resources intensive for my current desktop.

That seems...
Imagine BMW suddenly deciding their company cars should be Toyotas.
Can you recommend any of the existing Matrix clients?
