    I don’t compare a hot-dog to a pile of dog poo and say “it’s good food”.

    Then what is your definition of lightweight? A command line chat app?

    slow to load up

    literally loads within 3s

    long sync times

    maybe if you didn’t open it for a year yes, otherwise it’s in the sub-second area

    high battery drain for mobile users

    Mine is <1% for the last day. If you don’t setup proper push messaging which then requires the app to constantly wake up - yeah than it might be a problem.

    room concept, as opposed to contact chats

    How exactly is this a problem?

    electron app sucks

    Teams is also using Electron Microslop Edition

    options way too hard to find at times (like how to add existing rooms to a space)

    Just go into the settings and you will find 99%

    Moving a room to a space has nothing to do with options and is a very uncommon task.

    no online/offline status of contacts

    ok guess you last used Element 5+ years ago?

    trust model with device verification is unintuitive for non-techie users

    Yeah e.g. Whatsapp and Signal have the exact same problems expect when you keep some (sometimes not encrypted) backup somewhere.
