I had acquired a habit of typing a message, sending it, and only then reading it again and checking for typos. The lack of such an essential feature caused me to send incomprehensible messages, making the app almost unusable for me.

I'm sorry, what? This is the reason he starts with for saying Signal sucks? I can't even bend my head around that logic.

Well, at least he backtracks at the end.

Signal doesn’t actually suck. It’s fine. It gets the job done. It lets me communicate with my friends. We are quick to dismiss a new thing after two minutes of trying it out just because it doesn’t meet our expectations. This is especially true if we are pressured into something instead of following intrinsic motivation. We obsess over the little things that ultimately don’t matter. However, if we earnestly give it a shot, we get used to it. We adapt.

This kind of silly reasons are exactly what people say why they can't use xmpp and prefer Telegram for example.

Signal supports editing messages. I don't get it.

When the author started using it didn't support edits yet
