It's depressing to be told that we can pick between a moribund client and one that's barely usable, indeed.
Element X is a mess. You can make it look good in comparison to the previous one on a "checkbox" basis like you just did, but it's clunky, buggy, and so unappealing that I don't see myself recommending it to anyone. Even tech nerds can't stand it any longer, which was the premise of this post.
Yup, I get it, you are emotionally involved in all of this, and criticism hurts, but the only way "blaming it on the users" ends, is with no users left at all.
- Arathorn 1y agoare we even talking about the same app? This is literally the first time i’ve heard someone accuse Element X of being clunky, buggy or unappealing - including the original post? The criticism is that it’s not got threads/spaces, surely.

- Arathorn 1y agoright, so you are talking about the old legacy Element client, which all those links and the OP are complaining about being clunky/buggy/unappealing. Not the Element X rewrite, which everyone seems to agree is better… but just not feature complete yet. Thanks for clarifying :)
- ezst 1y ago> talking about the old legacy Element client No, out of the 4 cited sources, at least 3 clearly identify Element X. Also, great way to miss the point: users can only bear so long being told that they are wrong.
