 Matrix has 0 chance of unseating Discord if they have no good clients. Element is bad, Cinny is okay but lacks features, and the terminal clients aren't full-featured either.

 @74178bce I tried Element today, and couldn't even get the captcha ui to work setting up an account.  It wouldn't accept mouse clicks in the bottom row and below.

I agree: Element is really bad. I am not using Matrix enough to test other client, though, but any advice on a good client would be appreciated

 @74178bce Matrix is a fantastic idea and base, but it held back by ridiculous corporate decisions.
Simple things that nearly every competition has, have been in limbo for years with multiple PRs ignored and left aside.

I have personally tried to contribute and it has been the worst experience ever.
All love to the devs(they have always been nice and helpful) , but the product review team is understaffed and the corporate policies are just horrible.
