No way to view anything in the right side panes (chat and members) at the same time yet when you do view them your bottom pane with the meeting controls auto hides (???). Some panes auto-hide some panes don't. After about 6 people video has a tendency to hang (even if all users are on a gigabit connection). No way to request control of someone else's screen. Also for large conferences (100+) Meet just doesn't have the standard options at all. It's smart enough to mute everyone by default and (I think) disable video automatically now but it's nothing like the features most others offer for large meetings.
Outside the one or two time app install (depending how many devices the user has) Zoom actually has everything you need to get a meeting done. Need a multi user whiteboard? There. Need to have someone control someone elses stuff? There. Need to hold a large meeting and have one at a time raise hand questions? There. Most importantly these don't get in the way of "need to just talk with someone else" being there and just working as well.
No meeting app is perfect for everybody but Meet lacks a lot of flexibility to get it's simplicity and it's not all that much simpler than Zoom for it.
