The sticker picker could be opened when the user is about to send an attachment, or a reply, or text, neither of which can be combined with stickers.

I have personally witnessed many users thinking they could reply to a message with a sticker, then be surprised when the sticker they sent does not include the reply. This change makes it clear that you cannot send stickers as a reply to a message, or with text/attachments. Note that this behavior follows what iOS is doing, and I think Android should do the same.

Stickers can't be used as a reply to message, so this led to UX confusion

Sorry about this mess, I rebased and pushed without including my changes lol

I changed the logic a bit. Now it prevents showing the sticker picker only in the reply case.

My previous changes were too broad--only the reply scenario was confusing from a UX standpoint! Cases like draft messages or attachments now behave the same as before, and users can use the sticker picker in those cases, as I believe it's not confusing that you can send stickers without including your draft message or attachment along with it
