Did they really abandon it? First Google Music was rolled under the YT umbrella, now the podcasts app was rolled into the music app. Makes sense to me; why have them in different places? This is exactly how Spotify and iTunes work. I have some small quibbles with the UI but overall it's great. You could blame them for launching separate apps in the first place but hindsight is 20/20. I can also agree that the migration should have been smoother. Not migrating listening history is definitely an annoyance.
