Time to abandon ship?

I've been loyal to GV for a very long time. It's getting dodgier with each update, however. RCS is still MIA, and the new TOS inexplicably invalidates every 10th text or so from the web client and I have to resend for no good reason. I'm wondering if any other loyalists can tell me why it would be a bad idea to just port my beloved GV number back to VZW and use Google Messages. I really only cared about the web client so I can text from my desktop, and the Google Messages web client seems.. just as good, maybe better. And all I'd have to do is make Google Messages the default sms client on the phone. Am I missing something? It sure feels like I might be done with GV.
