Does not match my personal experience over several months of daily use. Zulip is designed by and for software engineers—which is not a compliment. The whole experience feels like opening vi for the first time. Nothing is obvious… not even writing a message.

The threading model is probably how all other chat apps should work, but I don't think that the ui/ux that actually exists in Zulip is good.

Clicking on a message is how you open compose to reply.

Also, there are giant buttons at the bottom of the screen to compose a new one.

Yes, you do need to learn a bit about how to use the tool, but that's true for any new tool.
