Dino is slim and has some decent features, but Gajim is the client you want to be using today. Gajim has (although mostly broken) Voice and Video support as well as (working) plugin support and various plugins that you may expect.

Dino really fell short for me in my needs for XMPP client, though I'm happy to see federated systems and their clients being promoted.

Specifically Dino has issues with OMEMO support with Conversations, while Gajim does not see these issues. This means I can use Gajim on my computer and Conversations on my phone without issues.

I'd like to see this with Adobe Flash and third party scripts. (Pandora!)

Were you letting them generate your keys for you? What's the big hub-ub about?

But they force XMPP/Jabber s2s connections to be in the clear?

smh

Take a look at this tutorial on setting up a proper GPG key: http://ekaia.org/blog/2009/05/10/creating-new-gpgkey/

I see your issue of complexity. Glad I haven't ever reached the point where some good git hooks no longer work.

.CO is also great in that they help startup communities, such as "Startup Weekend".
