Those three choices are interesting because I would absolutely take the designs of those sites from 10 years ago over the current ones.

Google Maps I can't agree with you on...but Gmail and Facebook, certainly.

  If Facebook shipped this [1] tomorrow, you don't think people would be up in arms? 1: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSNUbSjo1hpdamQyyNjENMEUY1Au8y7yZe5D4v9HNG-8XI9Mk3L https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcSNUb...

    ... which one's supposed to be bad? If the website'd[0] had a UI similar to the left back when I briefly tried it in ~2010, I might've stuck around. I stopped using it after a couple weeks because I couldn't figure out where anything was, or where anything I posted was going to "go". In terms of mobile UI, left looks like it'd let me answer the question "why's my badge have a number on it?" very efficiently, and to prioritize badge-number-dropping activities by category, which is great. [EDIT] [0] Yes I know this is a mobile UI, not the desktop website, I'm saying left is clearer than the website was and, from what I see of it on other people's screens, is. [EDIT AGAIN] I'd buy the argument that right has higher "engagement", though. [ONE MORE TIME] man I shouldn't post pre-coffee. I initially took this to be old-left-new-right which is obviously wrong. Basic point stands, I don't get what's wrong with this as a user though it may well make metrics worse.

    Perhaps, but I was just talking about myself. I definitely prefer that UI (maybe stylistically updated but not as far arrangement/placement and what's available).

  I do absolutely agree on Maps. The first maps website was an interactive map that was blazing fast and you could search. The current version of maps is slow, buggy on anything bug chrome, jarringly slow and almost hides the map in some situations.
