“Most black people are lazy” “Sort if that’s a sore point, I didn’t say all black people are lazy though” What a joke of a reply. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I didn't say most. And having a career choice in common is not at all comparable to something unchangeable like your race.
Sounds a lot like Gmail Labs, which was discontinued. I've learned to expect most Google products to be killed off, so I don't even bother starting to use them anymore.
If you are using G Suite, you might need to ask your administrator to enable Labs.

Not sure if it's standard now (I remember enabling it as a gmail labs thing) but the "undo" button that lets you abort sending a mail a few seconds after you clicked the send button is really handy. It captures so many times where you think about something you forgot just after you hit "send".
Gmail on Android is such a shitty locked-down experience. Want to create an appointment from an email? Nope. Want to set a reminder about an email? Nope. Want to link to an email from a notes or other app? Nope. OK, well now maybe. If you become a "business partner" with them and shove your product into whatever grand strategery they're cooking up this quarter. It's sad to think how Android was envisioned as this ope…

Please upgrade your argument.
I hope you kept the receipt on this rebuttal because you're going to need to trade it in. It's ok to just use a piece of software without expectations that it will always be there. Just enjoy it for what it is now. It's also ok to make friends knowing that they might not be there one day. Just enjoy life for what it is now.
So now, when the friend says, "Hey, meet me at $PLACE tonight at $TIME and we'll do $ACTIVITY," you say, "Yeah, right," and don't bother to go, because there's a good chance he won't show up, or he'll leave after 5 minutes, and you'll have to pay his tab.

You can't even have an HTML signature on Gmail for Android. Something so trivial missing from Google's main email client.
To provide a counterpoint, I think it's great the way it is in this respect. I don't want any of these features and wouldn't want others to use things like HTML signatures.

Just buy your own domain and run Gmail on it. Super easy to do, and if Google dicks with me too much I can move my mail somewhere else in minutes without changing my address
That'd require me to change my email address, when I've spent the last 10+ years training everyone to use my @gmail.
The question is not if you will move off of Gmail, but when, and would it not be better to be prepared and start the process when you're not under duress from a planned sunset?

I'm not sure what how Gmail is particularly locked-down compared to any other app. I'm not an Android developer, but it seems like there's not really a great way to add functionality to an app as a third party. If you want an app that does those things, you can still connect it with a Gmail account. In fact, there are many apps designed to connect with Gmail and add new features.
Android is designed from the ground up to enable this kind of thing. It has a powerful cross-app Intent system that could allow sharing of emails, deeplinking into gmail, broadcasting email changes, allow other apps to change email status, etc.

From the programming and functionality perspective that's fantastic. From the data security perspective that's a nightmare.
