I've only used Zulip when checking out the Lean Zulip a few years ago, and I thought it was an infinitely better interface than Discord for serious discussion, and also much easier for lurkers to find information. I wish more projects adopted it.
I just gave Zulip a try with a team of 3. I loved the UI because I spent years in pain finding things in big Slack and Mattermost installations (big = 30 users, nowhere near enterprise-level). For my two junior colleagues, instead, Zulip was too complicated. We evventually switched over to Discord.
I highly recommend Zulip to anybody who faces the problem that the concept of threads and channels is not a good fit to their mental model of tasks and groups in teams.
How is any chat app complicated with 3 people?
My only gripe is that on my phone sometimes it takes like 30 seconds to load, which doesn't seem to happen for almost anything else
There's new long-lived connection support in Zulip 12.0 that will enable the mobile app to do a lot better for startup in organizations with multiple 10ks of users.
I think it's expected to be enabled in the mobile apps in the next couple weeks.
