Corrected the sentence. I last used XMPP with Conversations on mobile and Movim on the web about 3 to 4 years ago. Many of my contact had hard time enabling e2ee. I had to visit them to walk them thru the trust process. Other wise, the would just see scrambled text.
I use Monocles Chat, a fork of blabber.im, which is a fork of Conversations.
OMEMO encryption works by default, and (for me) was a little bit more seamless than setting it up for Element.
Element has a slightly awkward "verification" process, and also the backing up of encryption keys, and verifying other devices, just tends to confuse new users (imo).
Element sees this as levels of trust.
Verification process is for people you interact with outside of Matrix like IRL or phone, etc.
This is no longer the case for Conversations, it works super seamless out of the box.
Sadly Movim only very recently added experimental e2ee and it isn't fully usable yet. But I am hopeful that it will be in a few months.
