Signal has a bulky, slow Windows client. Elements is a [0] bulky, slow Windows client. Gajim is fast (I’m guessing it’s the only native of the 3, but I haven’t checked). Configurability is also better. And then there are other options (which I’ll evaluate soon, as I did not like the recent redesign), while there are none for Signal and none that are stable for Matrix. It’s not as bad on mobile (I can only talk about Signal here, not Matrix), as clients are far more constrained, but once again Signal has a slow Android client (every action only happens after a noticeable delay) while the biggest XMPP client Conversations is instant. [0]: I tried a beta version that felt like an alpha, but OTOH the last time I tried it, it seemed reasonably stable.
