I'm not going to give a firm recommendation for or against any platform
but I'd like to make two suggestions:
a) why not slow the process down and allow more ideas to come forward?
There is no urgent need to change things in a month or whatever.
This is a reasonable suggestion. Since one can bridge Matrix and IRC it
is possible for different IRC channels to try it out. The ability to
bridge Matrix really helps since one does not need to install another
client for each new group conversation. One worry with Matrix is that
the core protocol has less of a structured development and ratification
process than IRC [1] or XMPP [2], so long term use is unclear.
b) it is really important to look at the organizational factors and not
just the technical factors. Today, too many organizations allow their
culture to be shaped by whatever tool is available. I'll refrain from
giving examples of the disasters that follow. For any free software
organization and any other type of organization too, it needs to be
organization first, tool second.
This is a good point. As has been pointed out, the desktop clients need
some work, and at present nothing with performance of the Telegram
client[3]. There are also a number of different implementations of the
server to consider [4],[5],[6]
