Yup. I use Emacs since 2002 and am pretty happy with it. Never used an Electron-based app and probably never will.

I don't know anybody who uses Signal and isn't a programmer (on the cryptography/security side) or journalist that needs it in order to work. Anybody else uses Telegram, WhatsApp, or both. SMS if you're in the USA.

This is so cool! Care to share it? I'm a non-programmer-who-wants-to-be-a-programmer and I loved this approach.

As someone very poor, for me good life means having money to the point where my choices are not based around it.

The customer support is the best! No waiting, no pre-recorded messages, no muzak, no menu. A real person picks the phone and talks to you. Oh and the app is a delight!
