Matrix is not an IM app, it’s a protocol. Anyone is encouraged to make an app for it.
It’s a long game. I’d give it another year or two before I think it’s grandma-ready.

Despite this, there are multiple alternative server implementations. Dendrite is the next gen server from the same core team, though Construct and Conduit are fledgling servers from different groups.
