Can anyone explain why if I switch to upgraded Hangouts I see only a few online contacts, but in the old Google Chat I see a bunch of people available and online? It's a serious regression and will cause me to stop using chat in gmail for the most part.

I'm not 100%, but I think this has to do with a Hangouts setting: "Show when you were last active". If that is unchecked, it means that some users (some clients?) will always show you as offline.
