What is the reason you pick Synapse for the backend?
Aren't there simpler to use implementations?
It’s the most popular one by a huge margin, and it’s the reference implementation from the protocol devs.
Windows is the most popular OS by a huge margin and undoubtedly the default desktop OS for most. That don't mean it has to be the best option out there.
I prefer simplicity and Synapse does not seem to offer that..
Apples to oranges.
