My experience is quite the opposite. I still use Gmail's "Basic HTML" UI, and it takes less time for me to click a link and load a new page on that UI than any interaction on the default UI.
- atroche 6y agoI'm skeptical of that. Have you timed it in Chrome DevTools? E.g. when I hit 'c' on the keyboard to compose an email, it's effectively instantaneous.
- redwall_hp 6y agoI use a regular mail client on my computers and phone, and don't touch webmail with a ten foot pole. Google did it best, but it's still junk.
- amw-zero 6y agoThat’s ok. You should have the option to use that UX. I can tell you that any non-programmer on the planet would ever choose that UX over the “app-like” feel. I think we forget that most users are not programmers way too often.
