A terrible Mac client

I’ve long given up complaining about WeChat’s long-standing issues like chat history storage and device login restrictions. But turning the Mac version from a mostly native app that followed macOS design guidelines into a Qt-based one is simply unacceptable.
This change makes an already clunky UI even less consistent with macOS, and the app’s size has become even more bloated. The “cross-platform” excuse doesn’t hold up — Tencent is a tech giant with more than enough resources to build proper native apps for each platform. Many other messaging services with massive user bases continue to do so.
As a product that holds a ‘near-monopoly’ status in messaging ecosystem, WeChat has a social responsibility to deliver a high-quality native experience.
The message delay is extremely large; the mobile version has received it for 1 minute, but the Mac version still hasn't appeared. In addition, since the messages are not in order, the display is disordered, which is very creepy if operated on both ends.
It's hard to imagine a instant messaging software could be done like this; I really admire it.

Somebody changed the shortcut key map, and sometimes the icon order is switched like why does it have to be this bad, and it consumes too much system resource even doing absolutely nothing, the engineering from a top notch Chinese company is just pathetic
Stupidest app I’ve ever seen. Must log in from mobile phone in order to use the app on the Mac. Every time!
This is a terrible piece of software.

The window design is extremely user-unfriendly. It frequently lags, the window can’t be resized, and when I try to enter or send text, I can’t edit anything on my MacBook.
