Yup. I'm really fed up with the lack of interoperability. I have an Echo Dot, and hate that I can't use it to play back from Google Music (not without a beta-quality third-party Alexa skill that still requires me to use a stupid trigger word), and I can't push to Chromecast.

But the Google Home ecosystem isn't so great yet, so I don't want to jump into that basket.

I've been messing with some of the open source alternatives (+Raspberry Pi), and they're all pretty rough. I plan to spend some time to put together something easier to use, but it's a tall order.
