"My messages are important, god dammit."
no, they aren't. get over it. The new compose does a great job of framing your sent emails in the way your recipients are probably viewing them: quickly, and often from a small screen/window.
- onelovelyname 13y agoGreat point, thinking of it that way gives some insight into why Google may have changed the UI.
- Demiurge 13y agoThe insight being is that Google is now discarding the professional crowd who bought into their Apps for ADD teenagers. Time to look for alternatives.
- tanzam75 13y agoGoogle Apps generates less than 3% of Google's revenues. (Probably much less.) Thus, not enough of a money-maker to influence the direction of Gmail.
- Demiurge 13y agoYou can't possibly be serious? :) I can be replying to CC-style conversation and the way recipients are hidden now, I can easily make a mistake not removing key opponent when making comment to partners, a lot of money can be lost. Email is extremely important for a lot of people.
- aestra 13y agoAre you kidding me? I get emails from customers every single day, each one of those emails I read very carefully, from a large screen. Each one requires a response on my part, and if you were a customer you would expect the same. I also do a real lot of personal emailing. I have family all over the country, and email is one way we keep in touch. I can spend over an hour composing an email to one of my family members, or one of my friends. If I wanted to communicate a shorter message, I'd use SMS, but if I'm telling a longer thought email is my go-to.
