Fwiw, Matrix E2E actually exists in separate codebases in: Riot/Web, Riot/iOS, Riot/Android, nheko, matrix-python-sdk, libpurple (in PR), and shortly in Fractal (thanks to https://gitlab.gnome.org/jhaye/olm-rs etc). So yup, it sucks that it's not turned on by default in private rooms, but we're working away as fast as we can.

I love your project and am really looking forward to replacing a lot of stuff with Matrix-powered chat.
However, I strongly disagree with the author that Matrix should be recommended as a secure communication platform until E2E is stable (and, from what I understand about your project, you'll enable it by default as soon as you consider it stable enough).
For the record, E2E is currently in libpurple master (only decryption not encryption) and in PR on matrix-python-sdk. Just a slight flip there.
my bad; i thought all the python ones had landed now. in practice the work is done.
Also, since writing this list yesterday, another client has got E2E running: Seaglass (a native Cocoa macOS client): https://neilalexander.eu/seaglass/
