I've been a Gmail user since its invite-only inception. I would agree with you about the UI a year ago. But the new SMS-sized compose window and the UI changes that put all non-basic functionality 2 or 3 clicks away are really annoying.
I would leave Gmail due to the UI changes, although I must confess I hadn't at the moment because it's too much bother to tell people about a new address, set up redirection, find out how to save all the old messages and have them at hand, etc.

- Al-Khwarizmi 13y agoThanks. I have just tried it, and it is indeed awesome!
- sliverstorm 13y agoI despise the new compose window, but most of the time I'm using IMAP anyway.
