Element for Android doesn’t support searching in encrypted channels and I think you can’t use E2EE in the browser at all(?), plus basically every other client has even more drawbacks when it comes to E2EE.
My team recently tried RocketChat, but E2EE is obviously an afterthought for that project as it has even more limitations than non-Element Matrix clients (no searching, no pinning, no file upload, no edit, etc.). Plus Jitsi integration seems to be buggy right now (at least on my Windows installation).
What else is out there that’s not on my radar? Is Matrix with Element really the best option right now? Is there no project that puts E2EE above all else?
Edit: Should be self-hostable and (FL)OSS.

Thanks for the great explanation. You said it a lot better than I could.
Imo, matrix is worth using if the bugs dont make it impossible (which they dont for me).
For peeps that absolutely need the perfect finish (which sounds like mixed priorities but maybe its just me) one could use signal.
Peeps who need polished stuff and great privacy should probably pay for it.
