That isn’t workable for chat apps, at the very least on mobile. And that’s the most-used text entry interface that users nowadays grow up with. So I think you need to make an exception for such applications.

Mobile makes this much easier actually, send can be a different button on the UI than the newline button on the touch keyboard without having to teach this to users. That's exactly how my phone is currently configured at least.
