A really big fan of Gchat here. What I was amazed at in the software was, how reliably it worked no matter how less your internet bandwidth is. The desktop GTalk app was tiny, handy and powerful. Back when I couldn't afford a wired internet connection in my home, I used to bridge my phone's 2G data to my computer and when nothing else worked with that tiny bandwidth, GTalk did. Hangouts - is just sad. It loads visibly delayed. Every conversation you click at, again takes milliseconds/seconds to load. Never had this cognitive delay in GTalk. I miss it.
