I use snapchat for texting primarily because I can tell the message was read. Can't do that with text messages. Also being able to send a quick video or picture, or do a live video call is nice too... Most people complaining haven't even used snapchat or know of all its features. As someone mentioned earlier, it's less intrusive than a call, and gets information across more efficiently.
