As more and more of these get GPlused, the more repuslive they are become. Among all the IM apps out there, I think hangouts sucks the most. More than the fb messenger. 2-3 years back, a lot of people I knew were using gtalk. Infact that was the default IM. We use watsapp now, or fb in case we don't have a number, but not hangouts. This massive transition clearly happened during the gtalk to hangouts change and I don't think I will go back unless the experience becomes better.

gtalk is still the default IM in pretty much everyone I know from different social circles. Even fb messenger during work hours I tend to see pretty much everyone in gtalk while fb is very sparse. And don't get me started on whatsapp, I don't know a single person who uses that, and nobody seems to even be aware what it is when I ask around. I guess they all have different use cases. I for one have been and will stay with gtalk.
