I don't think anybody's hating on the authors of Telegram - just that it's not one of the better options today.

I am not sure I can agree with that either (unless your definition is "does it strictly adhere to end-to-end encryption standards", in which I'll agree with you that it's not the best).

Last I used Riot/Elements (the app the uses the Matrix network), I almost pulled my hair out. It was slow and buggy. Felt like I was using an alpha version of a software from the late 90s.

Telegram and WhatsApp are two very positive outliers in a sea of very bad messaging apps IMO.

This whole thread is about security. That your priorities differ from other commenters doesn't make the criticisims "mindless hate" (and, again, not directed at individuals, just that we think the product and service is garbage from a security perspective. Don't conflate the creation with the creators)
