After nostrating over a year, here's my thoughts on #Nostr clients I use, roughly in order, with my + and - perspectives.

1. Amethyst - I'm Android, so...Amethyst
+ consistent, get a kick out of some of the videos, like the activity graph, like how replies are "nested"
- scroll is a bit "catchy" (though it seems to be getting better)

2. Nostrudel - very close #2 on mobile (might actually be my #1) and is definitely is my #1 on desktop
+ does everything including much I don't even understand, nested replies, great PWA! (which I love), easy to switch accounts, communities (not very active, but may grow), dev hzrd149 seems to be crazy adept at buidling
- wish it visually signaled when I have a "new notification"

3. Coracle - was my first client and you never forget your first
+ it just seems different, e.g. it's visually different, filters seem neat, the WoT feature! (love the WoT score by avatars...likely not perfect, but shows how useful WoT can be), dev hodlbod seems like an upstanding and thoughtful fellow judging by his podcasts (Thank God for Nostr, Thank God for Bitcon), PWA!
- the "filters" are a bit hard to figure out...this is likely my own user error/ignorance, seems a bit slower to load things

4. Snort/Iris - share the same basic code base, I think
+ both are simple UIs, yet both have plenty of options under the hood, both show notes big and clear (e.g. images on phone are full width), both have different feeds (for you, trending, followed by friends, etc. which help find other notes/nostriches outside my normal circle), I like Snort's activity graph, I like iris.to/username feature, the Iris "social graph" is crazy sick!, like that Martti Malmi (Sirius) works on Iris, both have PWA!
- I've had both get "locked out" for lack of better terms on mobile...required me to totally clear the cache and reinstall the PWA, worked fine to reset, but a bit of a nuisance

5. Primal - I've used it much less often, so not much of an opinion
+ love how there is iOS, Android, and web app capabilities, seems clean and simple
- seems a bit pushy toward downloading the apps
