Using a third-party client is a bannable offense under the terms of service. I hate the little "emoticon" icons that are all over the place. It set itself to auto-start on boot (this behavior may be different on win/mac). I don't like trusting it with my messages. It tries to show what applications users are running at the moment. There have been some improvements, but I still don't trust the security of electron.
These are some of the ones I can remember off the top of my head. Generally, it always seemed like it was both trying to baby me and seem "cool". It's many of the things I hate in modern software in one application. It's a chat app, which should shut up and show me messages, not try to double as a social network. It's also a voice conferencing app, which should shut up and transmit/receive audio, not try to double as a social network.
I know a lot of other people who seem to like it as well; good for y'all. All of this would be much less offensive if it hadn't banned me for opting out of its webshit.
