I should be clear, I wouldn't say Matrix/Element "sucked", and I apologize if that's the tone that my comment implied. It's pretty cool, and I greatly preferred it over trying to finagle XMPP + OMEMO, and I will probably try it again soon enough. In my case, my issues came down to mostly your last point: > Verifying yourself when you log in on a new device has confusing UX, and there's a known bug that can stop keys being synced to the new login even once verified. If I installed a desktop client on two different mac computers, I would have issues with messages not decrypting properly until I do a re-verification, and figuring that out took some Googling and trial-and-error.
