> opt-in Device cross-signing (from my understanding, the last must-have feature before e2ee is considered ready to be the default) is very close to being merged now that Matrix 1.0 is out. Yes, it took several years to get there, but I think its fair to say that the e2ee design now looks much better than anything else available (and had to solve many more technical problems than [for instance] Signal, due to the needs of federation). > poorly supported There are many unmaintained Matrix clients (this is what the top comment of your link points out). Personally I'd prefer if they stopped advertising them on matrix.org, because all of the newer clients either do or will support e2ee. > hamstrung by its overzealous cheering section Given that it seems to be the only project that provides modern e2ee in a way where your data is actually controlled by you without a central authority, I'm surprised that so few people are cheering them on.
