Wire seems to have better security, and it’s desktop app doesn’t require a phone number and supports multiple logins. Client and server are open source.
It’s got a pretty bad case of kitchen-sink flat ui, but is otherwise not bad.
Wire has crazy usability issues after sending a few hundred messages. Clients just freeze up and crash. Another issue is centralized metadata collection.
I know it's open source, but modifying it and recompiling all the clients I'm using would be very annoying.
