That's basically Hangouts. I sms more from my computer than my phone but it's all synced everywhere. I'm even smsing with a co-worker from my tablet right now.
Your "That's basically Hangouts" arrangements statement is true when it comes to:
>It's also synced to all my devices flawlessly.
But as for Hangouts being flawless messaging and not just some buggy app, I have to disagree.
Often I'll type a message and hit send, it will stay in sending and never actually send. I'll need to kill the app and when I reopen, the message is gone but if I retype it and hit send, it sends immediately. This is on a Pixel 2 with Project Fi or WiFi.
Clearly that aren't doing something properly and I feel quality of the app has degraded as their efforts go elsewhere, viz. Allo, messages, etc.
Hangouts is flawless on the browser on my laptop though.
I've only ever had this happen on very very patchy internet connections. Usually when there's a captive portal that I haven't logged into (so the app doesn't know it's being blackholed).

I have a Pixel 2, with Project Fi, and haven't ever really had this issue.
Sure but I am talking about the quality of product and the vision. There is coherence. Gchat works everywhere but is not well integrated with anything.
