They must have some serious political problems inside Google. I simply can't believe a company the size of Google can't make a good chat app. A simple chat app is literally one of the first apps you create as a beginning programmer. Hangouts was good. Did what it needs to do and a tiny bit more. Google Chat is a bad joke, with obvious glaring bugs that remain since the whole time I was forced onto it (years? feels like decades)... Have a look through the 1-star reviews on the Play store and get an idea of how many bugs Chat continues to have. Continuous "updates", yet no user-visible differences at all? I would think that a top 1% app developer with the resources that Google has available to them should be able to make a workable Hangouts-clone in maybe a few weeks? What is this crap?
