great project getting better all the time!

Awful to self-host (resources, administration) and rolling their own crypto

On the UX-Side it's too complicated to explain to my parents.

I'd love for it to succeed, but for now I'll just stick woth Signal

rolling their own crypto

No, it uses well-known, well-proven, standard crypto.

It also uses double-ratchet key management, much like what Signal does.

The reference server is a bit heavy if you're federating with large public rooms, but lighter alternative servers are available.

they do have a special crypto usage which they have sensibly rewritten in Matrix 2.0
