You're right, I've come back 5 days later to correct myself. I've been using Signal a lot more in the last week and actually nearly all the things that I would say justified the use of the word "objectively" are now fixed. They were all bugs, rather than design choices - things like inconsistent padding, and a tiny unpadded input window when typing long messages. It's actually pretty nice now.
