If the new Compose interface was actually that awful, it wouldn't have seen the light of day. What do you think Google employees use for all their email all the time? The window is not that tiny - compare it to the chat window, for example. And since so many of my emails reference other emails, it's nice to be able to browse my inbox at will without opening new browser frames. I was thrown off a bit by the auto-hiding of CC and From fields, but it's habit by now to use Tab and Shift-Tab to navigate the form elements. Thankfully, it's still about as keyboard-accessible as before, since I don't like to use my mouse much.
