Google switches everyone to Gmail’s new compose window
- DanBC 13y agoDidn't we do all the research years ago? Didn't MS and Apple and others produce reams of really good quality information about what users like and dislike and what users can or can't use? Why is Google doing this to me? I feel like I'm a rat in a maze, being poked with shitty UI by some out of touch experimenter. Just because you can do stupid things with interfaces doesn't mean you should. See also Kai's graphics software, all mp3 player skins, etc etc.
- erkose 13y agoI agree, most of the UI/X changes make things worse by disrupting my work-flow. You can always use POP or IMAP and the client of your choice.
- petercooper 13y agoIt's 8 years since I used a desktop mail program and after a few hours with this, I'm close to pulling the trigger on switching back. It's hideous and strongly encourages top posting like some e-mail newbie :-( I could accept it on something that's trivial like Facebook or Twitter but it's too essential my e-mail experience be smooth and straightforward.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoI'm an old fart too, and object to anything changing. But I suspect in a week I'll have adapted to this and forget why I was annoyed. The shortcuts we store in our spine/brainstem are the ones that we are most annoyed by when they quit working. But they are reprogrammable.
