Google talk sucks

Just tried the Google talk with my coworker. It is so primitive as an IM application. It may have the amazing voice feature which I didn't try it out. But for the person like me, the voice feature will never be used. I like IM because I can type not because I can talk. Talking on the phone is much more convenient.

It is too obvious that Google is going on the yahoo and msn direction. But can it win? Looking at the google talk, I will say no. I can see that only google fans will use google talk. Most people won't because it sucks.
