What is your favourite matrix client? (lemmy.world)

Up until now I simply used Element, it just works and it doesn't look too bad. Unfortunately, I now have two Matrix accounts, my personal account and the account my university automatically created on their own matrix instance.
I need to communicate using both my accounts now, but Element couldn't handle two accounts at the same time, so I went on to install a second client, Fractal, which also supports multiple accounts. However, I am somewhat unhappy with Fractal because I cannot select text in messages.

Please share your experiences and recommendations with or on matrix clients.

My favourite Matrix client is NeoChat.

FluffyChat works great for me on mobile and I've got both FluffyChat and NeoChat on Linux

My needs are pretty basic. I still use Element (web) on desktop. On mobile, I switched to Schildichat since the Android version of Element kept screwing up my E2EE sessions somehow.
