The desktop app situation is pretty similar for all messaging apps. I don't really know any messaging application that has good, native desktop apps. Can't really include iMessage in good faith due to the platform restrictions.

Telegram desktop is great and Matrix desktop apps are definitely getting there.

Skype has always worked for me. Unfortunately it's not secure.

I usually hear nothing but complaints about Skype.
