Am I the only one that thinks than being tied up is wrong?

Using jabber (gtalk for example) and I can use whatever the h*** I want to talk with someone. I can be talking on my phone, get home and go on talking on my computer with a nice keybooard; can't do that with whatsup!

The older I get, the more I hate being tied up to a company's software, whichever it is.

Just my two cents
