I hear you. Personally I'm hesitant to recommend anything in the Matrix ecosystem in large part because there are mutually verified users on my server who haven't been able to talk to each other in like 10 months, and the issue thread has been stagnant for about that long. Frankly it's fine that there are bugs and it's even fine that there are bugs impacting core functionality for such an ambitious project, but it's frustrating that this ecosystem falls down so hard when it comes to providing an accessible experience for non-technical users (i.e. when things don't work, it's extremely ungraceful and unclear what exactly is happening or why).
