They did do Inbox which tried to cannabalize Gmail but it ended with it merging some features back in to Gmail instead.

  I really miss inbox

    The only thing more upsetting to me than having Inbox foisted on me was having it torn away from me afterwards. I was resistant to more change for the sake of change from Google, then Inbox won me over with its excellent UI. It became a combination of to-do list, email, and calendar that felt like an extension of my brain. The tiny concessions to its good UX that were pulled into Gmail were cold comfort. The equivalent functionality in GCalendar is way more clunky.

      But Inbox was never foisted on anybody, the standard Gmail interface has always been available.

        I guess I'm misremembering again.

  They did shut it down before it took off though. And made a half hearted attempt to merge the features.

    That's a better outcome than the mediocre YouTube music killing Play Music.

      Especially for those of us who had uploaded all our songs from CDs by miscellaneous local bands that went extinct long before every band put its songs on YouTube.
