If Mozilla would fulfill my request about building/funding a TextSecure client for their browser, Tor could also just take that into their browser and wouldn't need to build another one with their own money, which I think is already pretty short:
This would be preferable to me and many other users. I can see the need for both projects. If you're going to go out of your way to communicate securely then TextSecure seems like the way to go, but if you just want to add general security and anonymity to your existing network maybe Tor IM is what you want.
