Edit: Oh yeah, DON'T USE SIGNAL. Use Matrix instead, offers the benefits of signal without the drawbacks of lack of sync and phone number requirements and is decentralized. The fact that everyone is going gaga for signal as "the BEST messaging app" should be a big red flag in and of itself, because hype trains like this aren't organic, just saying.

Sync

Works fine for me.

System support

Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android, what more do you want?

Hoops to jump through

What hoops? I typed in my phone number and was good to go.

potential loss of chat history

You said that already. If the worst thing you can say about the messenger is that it doesn't sync chat history to new devices, it's probably a decent messenger.

unreliability

Genuinely what?

lack of account based sign up

Like I said, if were comparing it to messengers people are already using, like iMessage or RCM, this is a nonissue.
