This, seriously. I've switched to mostly Matrix chat (with bridges for backwards compatibility) and I seriously miss the Telegram experience. The official client is your run-of-the-mill Electron chat app, which comes with the standard lag and slowness. Alternative clients either lack features (notably, E2EE), are based on other terrible frameworks (Flutter, QML+Python, etc.) or don't work on the platforms I want to run them on.
Spectral looks promising, and so does Fractal in a sense. I've had trouble getting E2EE to work on Nheko, and everything that does work is slow and laggy compared to native chat clients.
One day I will probably get frustrated enough to hack the Matrix protocol into the Telegram app, if someone hasn't done that already by then. The lack of anything better annoys me to no end!
