Just because software isn&#x27;t moving in a way that you personally want doesn&#x27;t mean it&#x27;s wrong or that it was objectively &quot;better&quot; before.<p>We don&#x27;t have apps that work offline? Maybe look around more. FFS half of the web apps i use work fine offline.<p>And claiming that there has been no innovation in the OS space for years is silly. There is plenty of innovation, it&#x27;s just that people don&#x27;t like change and will instantly reject something that isn&#x27;t the same as what they are already using. FFS just look at stuff like the ip command or systemd in linux. People lament that it&#x27;s the end of days because a command is different exactly because they want to innovate past the constraints of the old systems.<p>And if we are playing the &quot;What i want is what is best&quot; game...<p>I much prefer Windows 10 over linux now. It&#x27;s gotten that nice and i&#x27;m tired of constantly fixing stuff on my workstation.<p>And I much prefer current hangouts to the old google talk plugin. &quot;small&quot;, &quot;light&quot;? Did you ever use it. You needed to download and install 2 separate programs to get Google Talk video chat working. Sometimes you&#x27;d need to do some port forwarding bullshit just to get it to work.<p>Now i install chrome and sign in, and within a minute hangouts is installed and working.<p>Don&#x27;t want to install chrome? Run it from a browser tab by going to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hangouts.google.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hangouts.google.com&#x2F;</a><p>Don&#x27;t want to make a google account? You can video-chat with guests by sending them a unique link.<p>All of those things were impossible with the old google talk.
