SimpleX is under attack by the magazine Wired,
But what surprises me is the reaction of the developer Evgeny Poberezkin,

I don’t see how it’s unusable as a chat platform. Yeah it’s not suitable for becoming a social media platform, but isn’t that a plus for a chat app?
Read the article. The dev said room sizes will never be big enough for many people’s needs. Think university students groups. Or activists in a city. Or a chat for a large committee at big city.
But theres loads of other features that are intentionally absent.
Most people will need basic features like syncing if chats between the install of the client on their laptop and their mobile device. SimpleX will never have this feature.
