Google Messaging app issues

[berberloo]

I'm really bothered that Samsung is doing away with their messaging app and going to Google. I stay away from all things Google and am wondering what app I will be using. Any idea why this is happening?

All the customization options are gone with google messaging also... very boring and very disappointing

Don't want Google but using android and I'm sure Google apps
