I have a feeling that most of the population will think this is an improvement but personally I try to avoid as much “integration” as possible. I don’t need the universe tied into my E-mail, documents, etc.; I just want tools that can focus on one thing and do it well. The more connected everything is, the more damage you can do by accident (“great, I just E-mailed my entire list of connections via auto-complete and I have no idea how that happened!”, or “why am I receiving system notifications every 10 minutes from the CEO of FoobarCo?”). This doesn’t mean that I don’t integrate things, it’s just that I usually do so on my own terms. In my experience, 3rd parties are pretty bad at guessing exactly how I want two things to work together. I would rather see services remain open, with several options for tying them together, than have a monolith decide on exactly one way to do it that serves primarily their interests over mine.
