I shudder to think it! And shudder again at the 70% likelihood you are prescient with your comment
For the first time in many years I've stumbled upon a word I have never ever heard before, not in a movie, not in any literature, nowhere. Thank you. It seems HN has utility after all.
It would seem you are way over due as far as reading Frank Herbert’s Dune-series goes.
It's interesting how back when programs actually ran on your machine, you could just use an older version. I knew people who never upgraded Winamp. Today we do know this is problematic (due to security updates mostly) but when it comes to web applications we don't have a choice. Don't like the new look, well tough. If the application has an API (like Reddit) you could write your own or use a better client. I could sa…
I believe the words you are looking for are “embrace” and “extend”.
And with undo and DRM in latest Gmail, we might as well add “extinguish”.

What precisely is shitty and broken about gmail's IMAP implementation? Gmail's IMAP implementation implements three RFCs I wrote; I haven't noticed anything wrong in those areas. Are my RFCs unusual or am I overlooking something?
Sent emails for one.
I’ve written various email integration components and have to make special safe-guards for Gmail-specific crap.

Google is becoming really frustrating. I am trying to transition off inbox because they are killing it. The performance of the new gmail is miserable though.
I will desperately miss the clean inbox paradigm when Inbox goes. I am struggling to go back to the old way of managing my email with no done button and poorly configured categories. I feel like I have to do it now or I won't adjust in time for Inbox being sunsetted early next year.

The done button is the archive button in normal Gmail, and I think the new Gmail has the magical categories, although I don't use them.
If you're using bundles, that's the one big feature that isn't ported, but it doesn't immidiately sound like you are.
To me, Gmail Classic is this original look: https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/priority1.... I loved the "Original Classic". Every update since has worsened the look & feel. When Steve Jobs passed away, the whole software industry took a gigantic step backwards in design. There are lots of great designers in the world (have a look at https://dribbble.com/ ) but the people who hire designers often can't…
But you're totally right -- the use of color to clearly separate areas instead of white everywhere? Buttons with clear text instead of inscrutable gray icons? "Compact" lists that show your info instead of a whitespace fetishization?
I miss the old days...

I have this, but the recent UI refresh broke it. https://github.com/bijij/ViewImage/issues/166
My experience is anecdotal of course but what is broken about it for you? It is working fine for me on Firefox 63.0.3 (64-bit) using ViewImage 2.1
(Myself don't even know there will be a new UI either.)

I recently made the transition and it wasn’t that bad. My brain adjusted to hitting archive instead of done. And the gmail app archives when you swipe right. The categories needed a little manual adjusting, but works good enough after the tweaking

Funny, that happened to me this week as well. With the same word!
