Just fine is a bit of an overstatement for matrix. I think it got much better now, but the user experience for multi device key syncing on element and other clients gives room for improvement. I ended up having to reinstall because I could not figure out the mess I created myself. There wer so many keys involved that even having a PhD in computer science I could not easily grasp their meaning and function. I understand at least why key syncing ist not easy and I understand why someone would not support it. I however do not understand telegrams choice of obscure crypto as well as it does not make it easier to support this. But I guess their business model (pushing contextual advertisement into chats) relies on not having crypto.

I agree, but most of these issues stem from not having enough funding, as active as matrix seems to be, they are struggling to actually fund its development.

IIRC ads are only on public channels, where e2e does not make sense
