For me:

  • Awesome stickers with very good custom sticker support.
  • You can use a nickname to chat, you don't need to share your GSM number with anyone which was an incredibly stupid idea in the first place. On that account , better privacy than Signal or ShitsApp.
  • You can use simultaneously on multiple web AND mobile devices.
  • You don't lose your chat history when you login from another mobile device like in ShitsApp.
  • Stores your media server-side. So you always have your full chat with all the media in it. Of course this requires care about what you share with other.
  • Forwarding messages between chats has a lot of flexibility.
  • Message editing. Which ShitsApp finally copied. 🤣
  • Constantly improved. They are always adding more features.
  • The channel support is really good..

Signal also has usernames now.

Yes, finally. But I would say a bit late to the party. And a privacy focused IM not thinking about this for years blows my mind.
