Doesn‘t quite have the userbase at least for me. I‘m only using it for one work contact and that’s it. I also heard from others who use Element a bit more that it’s quite buggy, although I haven’t experienced that myself yet.

I just don't think that new msging app will have a larger userbase than matrix. I hope I'm wrong tho

Especially considering that they made gitter into a matrix client, and several IRC servers are easily available.
