I'm not OP, but I've switched to Telegram a while back because I loved the silent message option. Scheduled are also awesome, and recently added quote part of reply is very neat.
This is all UX, the UI is sleek but nothing too extraordinary for me.

Telegram has some clumsiness in it's UX too, which I find annoying (attaching a pic on Android, for example).

I'm usually pretty indifferent to UI so long as UX makes sense. But even I feel the difference between Signal and Telegram, so much so that I have friends on both and we use Telegram instead of Signal.

That to me is pretty telling - we know better, we promote Signal to other people, and would still rather use Telegram because of UI/UX.
