For a period of time GNOME did use rocket chat and it seemed ok. One of the co-founders of Matrix, Matthew Hodgson spent a lot of time with us and in fact one of our members works for Matrix org so we have some close relationships. We moved to Matrix because of overall it seemed the closest to IRC. We still have some bifurcation where IRC was still something a lot of our members prefer because it doesn't have a lot of things that cause distractions like emojis, images, and giphy type things.
