Acute awareness of and attention to the overarching problem. Almost all of the individual issues are likely already known, but too often hand-waved away as minor inconveniences. This is common in the FOSS world and IMO the #1 hurdle for wider adoption. That said, it would not be fair to not acknowledge that the Matrix 2.0 efforts have been real and massive improvements. Refocusing like this is a massive organizational effort and takes a non-trivial amount of resources. I’d like to take the opportunity to really commend that. (That said, I have paused my close following of the project due to my frustration with the state of things and rate of progress, but I totally understand some of the reasons for it. It is only becoming more and more important to have an open standard for instant messaging, but I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point something new appeared and immediately captured all attention)
