When Gmail came out, it was widely panned.  It continued to get panned for years for some bizarre design decisions. (let&#x27;s hide all text labels, let&#x27;s make compose new email in a popup, let&#x27;s not let user &#x27;delete&#x27; but &#x27;archive&#x27;etc, threading... )<p>Now people don&#x27;t complain as much, because everyone just got used to it.<p>Google makes some terrible UX across the board.
