> Signal planned this as a PR stun
I would say both Signal + Facebook. I only use iMessage.
In Apple I trust =)

The problem is that Signal prefers to also set itself up as the default SMS app and doesn't clearly show which messages in the feed are what kind. As someone who has to explain this difference to his father about twice a month I don't like this "feature", it's utterly confusing to people who don't know or don't care about the distinction between web-based messaging, SMS and MMS(now defunct here) when they want to send a picture.
Signal requests the status as default messaging app, which imho is a problem when combined with inexperienced users who tend to just click "OK" to get rid of popups and error messages, and now don't understand why they can't send a picture to someone in their contact list. And yes, Signal just lists everything in the same interface. For non-technical users this can lead to a lot of unexpected behaviour.
If I send someone a message on Signal or Messenger, it will only come through to them via that platform. With iMessage you cannot guarantee that.
Edit: I was completely wrong, iMessage does do that, my apologies.
