Except people at one point realized that IE is shit and switched to better alternatives. I don't see this happening with WhatsApp - everyone and their great grandfather uses it and all other messengers are niche occurrences

Technically, unironically, its latest desktop version for Windows is better than expected. It's no longer based on Electron or whatever, consumes less resources than before and works adequately.
That said, I still don't like it.

- Multi-device (without your primary device needing an internet connection)
- Deleting messages
- Editing messages
- Reactions
- Larger file uploads…

It has at least one advantage relative to ie6.exe - it's cross platform.
I have WhatsApp and Viber. 95% of people use WhatsApp, even though I prefer Viber. I do not really have anything against it, even if FB owns it. And I do not have a FB account.
more like netscape....
I still use IRC daily
WhatsApp is like hemorrhoids, you can try to ignore it but it's getting your attention eventually no matter how hard you try.

No, I don’t think I will.
Best messaging app is the one that has most users and is free to use. Sadly the truth is so simple, that's why everyone in Asia, Europe, Africa and South America use WhatsApp.
Asia
Not in East Asia. Japan is all about LINE, South Korea uses KakaoTalk, and China uses WeChat.
