Recommend an XMPP server software

Question

I understand this is subjective but there are other questions asking about library/language/etc comparisons.

What XMPP server software should I use if I want a XMPP server and why.

Thanks.

Answer 1

ejabberd, because it's the most active community and probably the more robust. It's written in erlang, but you shouldn't have to play with its code, as you wouldn't play with Apache's code.
