I’ve never used Matrix, and I’m overwhelmed at all the options and feature criteria on the project website.

I’d prefer a native app over electron/similar, but ideally would like something that works on most desktop platforms (windows, mac, linux), although I’m open to it if it is truly superior.

    Agree with this, I have both Element and Fluffychat on android.

    Fluffychat is nicer than Element in some ways, but it has some quirks around sharing files - I can’t get it to share multiple files from a gallery, and sometimes if it hasn’t been open recently the share action starts it up but nothing actually gets shared, and you have to repeat the action. It also tends to glitch if rotated to landscape and back again.

    I keep Element on the device but disabled so I don’t have both running, but enable it any time I need to do something that fluffychat can’t manage.

    They are both being actively developed so things are constantly improving.
