I was actually positively surprised to see the Telegram application is qt based. Not sure which one is it of the two you mention, it's just called "Telegram", and is same on both Windows and OSX.

Explains why it doesn't take a minute to start and doesn't need a gigabyte of memory.

Also, I was very surprised to see that it was really QT based in the sense that there was no glue to an attached Chromium or something, just pure QT in C++.

The effort that went into that thing is amazing. It's fast on my 5 years old Pentium.

Which one should I be using? MacOS specific one feels polished whereas the Telegram for Desktop one doesn't have this strange issue where media sometimes never sends.

I prefer the macOS native client.
