How does eliminating the limits between keys improve the keyboard? How does eliminating the small symbols overlayed on the keys (for example I can type "!" by holding the A key) improve the keyboard? I think the guy has valid points, and your post is just an appeal to authority. Sadly it's not only google, it's also Microsoft (Windows 8), Gnome (3), Ubuntu (Unity), etc. This UI minimalism consisting in removing features with no good reason is killing me.

There will be Windows 10 (Windows 8 is really a big mistake). Use Cinnamon, Mate or XFCE (or KDE even). Use another Keyboard on Android or change the theme on the official Android keyboard to old Holo theme (yes, possible).

I think Unity's brilliant. My new test for desktop environments is to press the super/win key and then type the first three letters of an app I want and press enter. If a DE can't respond by opening the intended app then I don't use that DE. I don't know about OSX, but Windows, Unity and Gnome 3 all work that way. KDE Plasma and Gnome 2 don't.
