Signal is great in principle but:

1. Their desktop support isn't provided by a native app but rather ducktaped onto Chrome, which in turn forces me to have that pole of junk installed.

2. There's no iPad app, granted you can run the iPhone app in compatibility mode but that's just feels wrong in 2016.

3. Their support for multiple devices using one account can at best considered an afterthought attached to their mobile apps with gum. When I checked last it only worked with their Android and their Chrome clients so no love for iOS users.

Wire provides all of this, wrapped in beautifully designed apps (if currently a touch unstable)
