   The #Matrix / #Element company is buying #Gitter from #GitLab and merging Gitter features into their Element client.
   
   @clacke has links to the blog post and to an interview about it.

     Though I think they have a lot of stuff they already needed to solve. Trying to fix the #Matrix protocol itself and replace the #Synapse server with something more efficient, while porting features over from #Gitter (both the server and the client ends) is going to increase the strain on their development resources.
     
     The recent migration from #Riot.im to #Element (on Android) is already dissatisfying, as the new client does not have all the capabilities of the old one and also introduced new bugs.
     
     As a regular user of Matrix (who once considered hosting a homeserver), I see this mostly like Mozilla's Eudora mail client announcement several years back: "We already lack the needed resources for this project, so we're going to take on additional responsibilities".
