Heh, let's be honest, Signal's isn't better (and I mean the desktop app, cause they don't have a web app). It randomly corrupts the sqlite database forcing me to set it up all over again, it takes a significantly long time to even do the setup process, and can't even do sms at all.

It allows you to connect from multiple devices simultaneously and you don’t need to have your mobile charged and connected. That’s second only to actually be able to send messages to me.

Don’t forget about the sync time if you left it closed for a long time. On my new laptop it's not so horrendous but on my old computer I just gave up using it there.
