I've just decided to give it a try and honestly, their apps are a travesty. Even Signal, with all the criticism it gets for its UX and lack of certain features feel more mature. I've tried Element and FluffyChat on iOS. Element is very slow. They messed the sign-up screen somehow and iOS suggested a "strong password" but didn't remember it, or didn't assign the log in to it. I went to generate a new password and couldn't log in since it required me to confirm my session from other devices, then gave an error that I have none. FluffyChat has a very unfriendly log in screen that gives zero explanation about Matrix or how you should type in your login with the server. Also, no validation (they could try to adjust your login with @ and : symbols automatically if they see something is wrong). It's not like I want to dunk on their developers, but it's hard for me to see this protocol and its apps getting many consumer users when it's so unfriendly and alien to them. Yes, some government European agencies and old-fashioned corporations who want an on-premises chat app would use it, but I don't care much about them.
