I decided to install #Primal and play around to compare it with #Amethyst...

My impression:

Primal censors new users (tested extensively), does not show likes and zaps and boosts made by users in Amethyst, not once while testing. Amethyst instead does a decent job at it and does not censor new users.

Primal UI is limited in terms of functionality, less features, not tiktok like feed, no sign with Amber (that is already a show stopper) no private and public bookmarks, no tabs showing tags followed, no badges.

Primal wallet is convenient but lacks ecash, those using that wallet instead of #Minibits or #Coinos or #npub.cash are missing out, combining LN and eCash is simply awesome and worth it learning to use it. It is good that Primal allows its users to add a wallet using NWC but after doing not all my zaps worked.

Amethyst is hands down the winner for me.

Testing now #0xChat as well, quite impressive and the wallet supports mints (eCash) loving the Telegram vibes, a bit different though, the UI is quite confusing for newbs, the landing view needs work, should be focusing on "Me". I would suggest to the dev team that if they are going to be the #Nostr TG, to match the UI TG experience instead to create a new one people is not used to, add to that already knwon UI experience the Nostr features like the wallet and you have a winner, just a suggestion I recently read from a follower and I think she is right
