I was happy with hangouts. When they took away merged SMS...that showed someone seems to be whiteanting the product or just wasn't the right person to make decisions about a messaging app. Then they pivoted to a business focused product, that was the death bell ringing IMO. I think hangouts was their way to a decent messaging platform at some point. Now I think they'd be better off supporting signal or buying Facebook...
