Fair enough. The only argument I get for SimpleX over nostr based is the lack of metadata associated to your conversations on SimpleX. This is a real issue for some people but would not affect me normally. If there was a situation I needed that metadata split I'd just spin up a nostr identity just for that communication use case. Personally I think the WoT possibilities of nostr far outranks the anonymity of SimpleX for 99% of my interactions.
