What am I missing with Matrix? (herbicide.fallcounty.omg.lol)

I will be upfront with this, and say that I've never been a huge fan. But I did reinstall a Matrix server, and some clients to see if it'd gotten better in the year or so since I've last used it.

This just... Kind of feels like a more centralized XMPP with group chat folders that sort of function? The spaces feature is neat, but I've tried 4-5 clients, and every single one of those throws all of them into the same screen as the DMs by default, and I can't find a way to change that.

Am I missing something here? Like. I want to at least see what people like here, I just can't.

Matrix at least has potential for the UX to improve especially with vibecoding being a thing now

A: It does! Given how long it's been around, and this just being... A default experience thing that makes it kinda bad out of the box if you consider that someone might join more than 5 spaces (I know people who're in 40 discord "servers")

B: I have personally experienced the user experience of vibe coding. I would not recommend anyone else personally experience the user experience of vibe coding. The company I work for has seen production outages like never before since they started doing it. Security issues out the wazoo, like what's going on on the social medias for whatever they're calling ClawdBot this week

I use it a lot for my own projects, and even with the open weight models it usually gets 90-95% there for more trivial things if you know what you're doing, which GUI development is in the category of, and it has sped up my development. Is also helpful for debugging.
