Hangouts SMS integration pros and cons

Having not seen a post about hangouts for a while (correct me if I'm wrong), I just wanted to make a quick post about hangouts and ask for a quick suggestion. I don't actually use Hangouts FOR Hangouts, just putting that out there.

Pros: *With Google Voice, seamless SMS/Voice integration. *Can text on any phone, tablet, computer, chromebook, you name it. Syncs quite well. *With xposed module xHangouts, customization is pre sick.

Cons: *I don't even know anyone using Hangouts, all either using iMessage or Messenger. Not Google's fault however. *Can't send/view videos for SMS. *W/out xposed, horrible image compression and looks poo poo

Still happy with Hangouts, but there's a big world out there. All that being said, is there an app with all the pros and without one of the cons? ((:
