Why are icq and xmpp populair IM's

Why are icq and xmpp populair IM's for coders/hackers ?
Because they are secure.

XMPP by itself isn't very popular, but with OTR it is considered to be the most secure method of IM.
ICQ is what the sketch russians use.

As Elitas said XMPP + OTR is perfect for secure communication.
How about Wickr and Discord? Are those secure?

Go read the Discord terms of service and answer urself.
