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. It's a GNOME app so GTK and native, No idea if it's cross-platform. I went with it cause I was also looking for something that wasn't Electron and also wasn't TUI (since I want to be able to view images normally) and it seemed like the most suitable, fully-featured option.
