Are you not concerned with the data Wire collects?

Versus the data Signal collects:

Although I agree Wire looks like a much more (visually) polished chat service, it seems like they (Wire) collect more data than is necessary.

Wire has open sourced it's server code (gplv3 even) and is working on federation support :

So you can run your own copy of it, and be in complete control of any information it collects.

That seems really exciting. When that occurs I will most likely switch over. Unfortunately you can't quite host it your self yet: https://github.com/wireapp/wire-server/issues/2
