Earlier quoted context omitted.

Can't wait to see the new redesign. Hopefully it takes some hints from the host platform - it'd be great to have Riot feeling more at home on macOS!

We don't have any plans to make a separate desktop app from Riot beyond the Electron one. Instead we're hoping that someone will write a proper native MacOS matrix client, which will be a much closer fit. https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/matrixclient.html is the closest I know of there, but someone needs to pick it up and finish it off :)

Is this the position for all platforms?

Project lead for Matrix here. This is a pretty accurate post, and in terms of the negative points we are painfully aware that UX on Riot (and performance on Synapse) still has a way to go. The current stuff we have in flight to fix this are: * Lazy-load all room members rather than push them proactively to clients. This should improve initial sync times and subsequent RAM usage by anywhere from 3x to 20x depending on…

Please initiate creation of a plugin for Pidgin... (it feels most of the issues would be easier to solve that way as well)
