Signal is the best choice for privacy/security but sadly most people just stick with what they're used to.
A small problem I see with Signal though is the phone number requirement. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather not bind a chat app to a phone number...There's the privacy/security benefits, sure, but also some added clunkiness with a new device/number (particularly if the old device was broken or lost).
FULLY agree. Decouple those and it could really take off.
