  Thanks for the quick cache link. Heh, its a rant on Drupal. So the author is using Gmail as a "good thing" that would be made into a "bad thing" if it were implemented in Drupal. Meta comment, I wonder when people using Gmail as an example of 'good' will figure out it doesn't have quite the approval rating they were thinking it had. Actual comment, its a known issue that programmers write things they like to use, not things other people like to use. It is one of the reasons programmers have an easier time figuring out modern technology that was built by other programmers, they already speak the underlying conceptual language. It is hard to see that gap unless you are a non-programmer.

    Outside of the HipsterNews clique you'll find a great deal of people who like gmail very much, because it is a better interface than their old hotmail or Outlook Express inboxes.

      Of the people I know who dislike Gmail very much, the comparison isn't to Outlook or Hotmail, it is to Gmail of 3 - 4 years ago.
