I completely agree. I'm sick of feature bloat, especially when it's taking away from perfecting stuff that's useful but not 100% there. Not every application needs to solve every problem - but it would be really nice if they did actually solve one, rather than prod at a dozen. I'm sure it's part of the reason we get attached to early-stage startups so often: they're hyper focused on scratching their own itch and haven't yet been massively distracted by all of those nuisances that come with growth (like needing to make money) Having said that, I'll point out that Sparrow (like every other non-webmail client I've used) seems to fall over when dealing with massive volumes of email. I'll get into the office with 500 new emails, skim and archive 490 of them over five or ten minutes or so, and then a few minutes later half of them will just show back up. Overall still a very solid product, so I too was disappointed to see it eaten up and killed off by Google.
