What is your favourite matrix client? (lemmy.world)

Up until now I simply used Element, it just works and it doesn't look too bad. Unfortunately, I now have two Matrix accounts, my personal account and the account my university automatically created on their own matrix instance.
I need to communicate using both my accounts now, but Element couldn't handle two accounts at the same time, so I went on to install a second client, Fractal, which also supports multiple accounts. However, I am somewhat unhappy with Fractal because I cannot select text in messages.

Please share your experiences and recommendations with or on matrix clients.

I use Element. I've tested a few others but have stuck with Element.

I also use Beeper, which at its core is just a Matrix client with some pre-packaged bridges for common services (including SMS, MMS, RCS messages). You actually do create a Matrix account for it, and I have tested messages between Element and Beeper though it has limited features.
