I actually think the chat bubble option alone will remove a huge hurdle for people joining Matrix and using it as a real chat platform. Anecdotally, most non-gamers, non-programmers prefer the bubbles. And it's a strong enough preference that I basically hear that people can't use an app for normal communication unless it has the bubbles. There's a reason WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, etc are all designed that way. They're meant for interpersonal communication more than giant chat rooms, and it seems like people generally prefer bubbles for that use case.
