PM probably wants to push some new features and is sick accommodating a mode used by less than 0.01% of users. Sad but not surprising.

- mrweasel 3y agoThat's probably the reality of the situation. The number of people using the basic HTML mode might be vanishingly small, even if the user base is very vocal. Also when you have as many users as gmail, even 0.01 percent is going to be millions of users. There may be a business case for someone to make a gmail client, or a competitor for those relying on the basic HTML mode. What is a rounding error for Google could be a pretty compelling business for a much smaller company.
- dicytea 3y ago> even 0.01 percent is going to be millions of users. This would mean that Gmail have >10 billion users, so obviously not.
- zeroCalories 3y agoHonestly I think 0.01% would be optimistic. Most people that don't like Gmail's fancy features just use third party clients. Unless Google decides to start blocking third party clients, which I could imagine them doing.
