All it would take for this is more love from the existing apps from big corporations (Skype, WhatsApp, etc) towards properly supporting mobile, desktop and web clients.
They already have all the users, which is really what makes a messaging platform (I won't use a new app if my family/friends/coworkers aren't there even if it has the best clients everywhere).
Skype seems to be trying with the new web and Linux clients but it's too little too late. There is still time to revert it through. If they opened their API so anyone could embed a client on a website, it would be massive.
