I use it since 2014 and have felt that it's very performant (more so than Signal or Whatsapp, Messenger, or Viber).

Also, it adds many useful features that other messengers didn't always have and many still don't have, for example Saved Messages, Scheduled Messages, Spoiler Messages, Reply to Message, message formatting (bold, monospace, etc), just to name a few off the top of my head.

Signal has "Scheduled Messages, Spoiler Messages, Reply to Message, message formatting (bold, monospace, etc)". I don't know what Saved Messages are, maybe it doesn't have those.

Oh, and it's end-to-end encrypted by default.

It does, in Signal it's called "Note to Self". I am saying that in general, Telegram is the first to offer such new feautres.
