I'm always amused (bemused) by the resistance to change. If this was Gmail day 1, everyone would be "WOW!" - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 18, 09:13 22
- We as a community are somewhat resistant to change ... there's one big one that I want to make but have resisted for the time being. - Beryllium Jul 18, 09:20 18
  - Avat....oh wait. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 18, 09:40
  - but it's sort of like, say you have a filing system. Then someone else comes in and says, "no, this way makes more sense to *me*". -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:30 14
    - You get what you pay for I guess. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:41 13
      - There are people who do pay for Gmail -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 09:52 1
        
        There are also people who pay for sex. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:54
      - but if their users end up not using it as much, their actual customers will look elsewhere. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:44 1
        
        *frantically codes the FB email service* YES! -- nm - M.Zuckerdouche Jul 18, 09:46
      - That's a lazy way of looking at it. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:43 8
        
        Switch to Hotmail then. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:44 7
        
        again, another lazy way of looking at it. - Reagen Jul 18, 09:48 6
        
        Assuming Google conceived and implemented these changes for "no real reason" is pretty lazy. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 18, 10:08 1
        
        I assume they had a reason for it. It provides no benefit to me that didn't already exist within the existing code. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 10:10
        
        Have you filed a well-written complaint to Google? -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:49 3
        
        It changed for me half an hour ago, dude. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:51 2
        
        So that's a no then. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:52 1
        
        *No*! -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:53
  - I like it -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:21 1
    - *waves arms to Google* SEE?!!?!?!??! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 09:40
- It's a completely redundant layer they've slapped over evverything that makes it harder to see your email - Reagen Jul 18, 09:15 2
  - Wasn't the original point of gmail that it removed all these layers? -- nm - Roger More Jul 18, 09:20 1
    - Yes. It's like they're turning it into Outlook. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:21
