Please tell me something that even approaches these conditions:

1. Implements OTR / Isn't a roll your own flawed cryptosystem like telegram?

2. Can be used by non technical users

3. Can be used on linux, osx, windows, ios and android?

4. Does not crash all the time (ios's chatsecure)

5. Is open source?

So far, unable to find it. It's easy to be a critic. Cryptocat and textsecure are the only two contenders, and right now cryptocat is the closest one to meet all of those conditions.

I'm the primary developer of this. I feel like it fulfills a lot of the points that you argue, please feel free to take a look :)

Doesn't have mobile integration and push notifications. I can't use it as a chat client on my iOS or Android device. There are many mature OTR chat clients for the desktop. Cool product although.
