I am tired of pidgin and very interested in Empathy. But i depend on OTR, so i cannot switch.
I know 5 others in my local geekosphere who have the same.
OTR is unaware of the layer below. That makes it clumsy or unelegant to implement for an individual protocol like XMPP. But at the same thime this is a strength: a multi-protocol IM client with OTR has end-to-end security with the same key pair on all protocols used. And that is elegant again :-) Calling that "broken by design" is a narrow view and missing the point of OTR.
