Again, i don't see most comments saying that here.
Can confirm that what I want is Inbox's UI. The ease of postponing items into the "Snoozed" queue, and low-effort addition of task items, are both lacking from the stock GMail app.

Another approach could be to build a brand around their 'enterprise' offerings with SLAs & LTS and make it more explicit which products are covered and which aren't.

People are complaining about having to switch apps. Users have found something that works and they've gotten used to it. Now they'll be forced to switch for no apparent value add. Why do you think people would be okay with that?
That isn't the part i'm commenting on. It's a general statement on the world that people hate all change :) People have always argued literally every change has no value add for them (and i'm sure for large enough things, there are always people for which that is true). So that part doesn't bug me. But that's not what most of the comments seem to be. Because honestly, if the only complaint people have is "i had to op…
- causes uncertainty (will this still work?);
- often comes at an inconvenient time;
- requires the user to re-learn the software;
- might cause incompatibilities with existing tools.
No wonder people mostly don't like updates, especially if they are forced upon them, and if the advantages are not clear.
Imho, to address the above points, software should let the user decide when they perform the update, and the user should always be allowed to switch back. Note that this might require data to be migrated back and forth, but of course that's the vendor's problem.

Bundling (including the "Trips") is the only reason I still use any google web client. It's not trivial.

#87Side-note on Google's communication systems, I watch an email thread at work where it went: 1) Here are my questions 2) I've added responses below in BLUE 3) Additional feedback in GREEN 4) More responses in BROWN and it really made me miss Google Wave. Inline replies within long emails are not well handled.
