I've been using fluffychat for over a year. It's a nice interface and the client I used to convince less technical friends and family to give Matrix a try. Unfortunately major functionality like being able to send images becomes broken for long periods of time https://github.com/krille-chan/fluffychat/issues/2497
Matrix has gotten to a complexity threshold that makes it near-impossible to have independent client/server implementations. Element is terrible, and many contenders are better in a way or another, but all lack some essential feature to turn them into practical alternatives.
There are several independent clients and servers. None of them support all features, not even synapse/element. But most keep improving steadily.
And for desktop apps, Cinny has custom emoji/sticker support. Would be nice if they played better with Element though.
