Bugs stick around for years, and with each new release you get new bugs that won’t be fixed for years.
It could be better if the ecosystem had more support, but as it stands right now there are just better options for the desktop space.
It’s fine for servers because they have the resources to make sure server programs aren’t a buggy or featureless mess.

Does Signal host its user’s data?
Not sure why privacy-conscious people would be recommending it over something like Matrix. Unless they’re paid off or stupid.
