Please provide functionality that would have people want to move from Element. I have both, and can't use Element-X, as it is barely functional, compared to Element. 1 million+ downloads for Element vs 50k+ for Element-X should be telling you something. But I guess a barely functional app that you don't need to put much effort into is your goal. Sad.
