Using it mostly out of necessity (a project I'm involved in uses it for communication), but I'm mostly enthusiastic about no longer having that annoying Matrixbot - there were always a number of Matrix users, and the implementation was incredibly confusing.

It's a nice bonus that I'll no longer be dependent on Gitter's somewhat buggy Web UI.

(That said, I am somewhat sceptical about whether we'll see any reasonable results in a reasonable amount of time - GitLab promised Gitter rooms for GitLab projects as well when they acquired it, and I'm not even sure if that ever saw the light of day.)

As Element we are if nothing else highly financially motivated to get Gitter bridged into Matrix, so we can run it via our normal Matrix server backend farm rather than keep an entirely parallel deployment running of Gitter infrastructure. We also want to stick to our word :)

I'm rooting for you!
