@paranoiq What makes gmail terrible?

@afilina @paranoiq

• mail composing window defaulting to a very small size in an uncomfortable corner of the screen

• the way message threads are mashed together

• as already pointed out, tags vs. folders, and bad search

@afilina i don't want to defend ms in any way, but Gmail has a terrible UX for me with totally confusing UI, so to say the least it's hardly superior. But maybe i'm the weird one :P Btw Thunderbird ftw :)

@adam_turcsan Can you give me an example of something that is confusing there?

adam_turcsan, 10 months ago

@afilina For me, who is used to the classic directory based structure, the whole tagging vs directories and moving/copying/tagging operation is just messing up something that was working before. What's more, ironically the searching works awfully – or at least unintuitively for me. Also numerous times I had "archived" something by accident and searched it where it went. These are just from the top of my head, but I don't use it nowadays.
