I've been using Matrix for several years as a user. It works great. The problems decrypting messages have gone. X is becoming a good client. I'm deleting my whatsapp and télégram accounts in a few weeks after a painful week-long backup...
Edit : I wonder how easy it is to backup a Matrix accounts's data. Conversations and files.

Not as easy as you might hope. The Element client has an export feature, but you have to manually activate it on each room/chat, and the export has a size cap so it may not work if you have lots of files you want to save. It's also pretty slow if the room has a lot of history. You could also try using something like Matrix Commander (a command-line client), but I couldn't get that to work fully either.
