It may be hard to imagine now, but there was a time when every web-based product google made seemed like amazing, fluid pixie-dust magic compared to the competition.

Now they’re all slow, laggy, terrible resource hogs with ugly, non-intuitive UI on top. Worse in almost every way. They’ve clearly lost their edge.
