I use Telegram and so does my friends despite I (primarily) know about the questionable security. And the reasons are very simple: Because it's packed with features and it's user interface is so extremely well done it simply outclasses any other option in those regards. Second, our normal level of communication simply does not require perfect security. Being on Telegram or as a group on a bus being overheard by everyone would make no difference. No one of us cares because it doesn't matter. I talk to my family and spouse over "normal" Telegram, and it's the same thing there. When we need to talk about intimate things we do so eye-to-eye, and even if it would become public I believe audience would find TV soap operas more exciting. What I am saying our choices are dictated by convenience and enjoyment. Signal, Riot and Wire provides none of those compared to Telegram.
