I guess I just never had any of Google's decisions really effect me in a negative matter until G+ came out and they started ruining products I use on a daily basis (such as Picasaweb, Reader, etc)... so I didn't think about it, or bother re-analysing Google to decide if they'd finally transitioned into a big-evil-company type entity... which they have now (to me).
