What's the best Matrix client? (sh.itjust.works)

I've never used Matrix, and I'm overwhelmed at all the options and feature criteria on the project website.

I'd prefer a native app over electron/similar, but ideally would like something that works on most desktop platforms (windows, mac, linux), although I'm open to it if it is truly superior.

I use Fractal on my laptop.

Element X on my mobile, and fluffychat as the backup for any features Element X is missing.

Hydrogen is really cool, but I haven't used it in a while.

I use Fractal too - just chiming to add that it's NOT an Electron app although only runs on Linux.

It's fast and has a well designed UI. I like it.
