Does it actually integrate with Google Hangout? I stopped using Adium and switched to the Google Hangout Chrome plugin because Adium did not fully integrate with Hangout (messages I read on Adium do not get marked as read on the Hangout app on my phone). Chrome Hangout plugin works but I'd like something native.
Yeah given that the new Hangouts is a proprietary closed protocol (as far as I know) I don't think it's possible for third party to fully integrate. Their site has the Hangout logo and says Hangout on the feature list which gave me a bit of hope. But if you scroll down it actually says it supports Google Talk instead of Hangout.
Yep, it is a closed API. A bit annoying, but I much prefer desktop clients over web applications or browser plugins, that's just personal preference though.
Yeah I do prefer desktop clients over web apps and browser plugins. But I do do not want to have to mark messages as read twice, once on my computer and again on my phone which is why I tolerate the Chrome Hangout plugin.
