I assume the audio/video stack runs on a different thread so not much.

It still suffers from a terminal case of Electron, but atleast it's not worse than it's comptetitors in this regard. Both teams and discord have an absolutely laughable click to photon time on anything but high end machines.

Despite the Electronness, I think the UX of Discord is still much better than that of Element. There's just something off about the way element responds to interactions, I can't put my finger on it. I've noticed there have been some improvements made over time, but Discord is still much more fluent in the places where it matters.

Cinny, being very Discord inspired, also gets many of the Discord usability features right. With the way Cinny is developing I wouldn't be surprised if the two projects would eventually merge together. The lack of audio/video support is the most obvious flaw at the moment, but perhaps once proper Matrix voice is stable and implemented in Element we'll see some improvements in that area in Cinny as well.
