I never even used gmail, but I have fond memories of google chat! It used to be my best way of keeping in touch with people. Not sure why people stopped using it; I imagine that maybe Google changed something about the gmail UI, or maybe it was because people started using phones instead of computers for email. In any case, it had all faded away naturally long before Google stopped supporting XMPP.
