After ICQ and QIP, Trillian was the way to go for me. Unfortunately the inability to use facebook without being constantly banned forced me to switch to Element. And while Element and Matrix is cool, it still doesn't come close to Trillian. Emotes are not customizable, theming is harder, and the amount of things u can do with history is endless compared to Element. Overall I feel like Element is more like Teams and missing features for power users. The search functionality and working with many attachments in element is very tedious, no way to search in them, sort them, filter them... I hope they can improve on that, I have over 500k messages and history feels useless thanks to that.
