I found it very nice to share with a close friend that way.
This is what I really hate about Google's strategy. Every one of these dozens of chat apps Google has come up with has been loved by somebody. Even if it's not many people.
Finding something you love and having it taken away from you because the developers couldn't be bothered supporting it feels so much worse than if that something never existed at all. If Google isn't willing to support things, they shouldn't be releasing it to the market. They've now gotten themselves in a position where people don't trust them to support things long term, and that is in turn making it harder for them to release new products and services because usage numbers are too low with everyone waiting to see if it lasts.
