I used riot.im as my primary IRC client (via its IRC bridge) from home, work, and on mobile, for a year or so. Unfortunately there were lots of issues and bugs, to the point where I couldn't trust that when I wrote someone a message they would get it, or vice versa, so I had to give up on it. I'm now a happy IRCCloud user.

We're dropping riot because of the same reason right now. Sometimes messages do not pop up as push and that makes communication unreliable.

Are you facing this issue with chats on Riot itself or as a bridge to IRC ?
Because as a slack replacement, riot is pretty cool (and there some redesign happening ). Most of the criticism is around its IRC bridging, which I agree is a little unstable. But let's face it - nobody else (slack et al) even tries.
Only with the IRC bridge, which is the primary use-case for me since so much of my existing community chats are on IRC still. IRCCloud also bridges to Slack, so I get both in the same (synced across devices) interface.
