- 0x54D5 8y agoGoogle Chat is a horrible experience and I would advise anyone serious about communications at their company to seriously consider alternatives. I am currently forced to use it. I have documented multiple bugs in a blog post here and I have reported each one to Google multiple times without any fixes being made. We are a paying client for G Suites. https://technex.us/2018/11/google_chat_is_the_worst_desktop_chat_program_I_have_ever_used/ https://technex.us/2018/11/google_chat_is_the_worst_desktop_...
- SwellJoe 8y agoIf it's backward compatible, why would they kill Hangouts, instead of just upgrading everyone automatically and calling it version 2? Google makes no damned sense. With all of the confusing product names, I can't figure out what they even want me, a regular Hangouts user, to do.
- jedmeyers 8y agoChat can support Hangouts features but not vice versa.
- netsharc 8y agoAnd Windows 10 can run programs written for Windows 7 and not vice versa... so as the above commenter said, why not just call it version 2 and upgrade everyone? But yeah, I guesss Google's culture leads to a lot of dick waving competitions...
