So what is everyone using instead of hangouts???
I use Textra and love it. In my opinion it is the best 3rd party messaging app available in the play store.

What exactly is the difference from the stock app? Apart from G+ integration and a different look, what else does it offer?
Honestly the only thing I'd be interested in is the ability to send texts as data (using my own number, not one assigned by Google) for when I'm out of an area with mobile coverage but still have access to Wi-Fi.

If Hangouts had custom tones for individual contacts I'd use it, since it doesn't, I'm using Chomp.
Textra is fast but do you know it's using a proprietary database format? So you cannot switch over to other SMS apps back and forth anytime you like. You'll see different messages between Textra and other regular SMS apps.I use Textra and love it. In my opinion it is the best 3rd party messaging app available in the play store.

I was worried about backup issue. I supposed a normal backup app will not backup Textra's copy of the messages. That's why I stopped using it.
Try ChompSMS... Made by the textra people and it doesn't effect the other text apps. I can go to the stock app and it works fine.

I just switched to hangout but the lack of a notification icon is about to send me back to the stock messaging app.

I don't know what the problem is but I get a notification icon for Hangouts.
Really? For SMS messages? I did a Google search and found a lot of people not getting a notification....hmmm...I'll have to do more digging.
