Has Sumsung replaced Messages

Hey all

Just updated my Canadian S4 to Android 4.3, and can't seem to find the stock Samsung Messages app, just Hangouts. I've searched a bit and can't find it, but have they started using Hangouts as their stock app..?

Oh joy joy. I guess I'm old because I can't stand messages and hangouts being married.

On my nexus 5, no messaging app exists, only hangouts. I guess Google wants to record every text also.
