Google has great engineers but horrible product vision. I have said for a long time that the only reason Google search became successful is because they just kept it to a simple text box. And that is because they lacked good UX design. If they had tried anything else, I think Google wouldn't have succeeded.

As someone who occasionally has to use google crap, I find these useful. They’ve killed 90% of the stuff I found useful, and I migrated off most of the remaining stuff voluntarily.

I assume the few absolutely critical things I rely on them for will be discontinued at some point, and this gives me an idea of what’s likely to be on the chopping block.

However, the list is missing one big item: Cheap storage for universities. That caused me all sorts of headaches a few months back.

Yeah. There was some legitimate criticism at the beginning with things like Reader, but it has devolved into bad faith arguments like renaming a product being killing the original, merging products being killing one, migrating to new solutions on a pre-agreed deprecation timeline being killing… all companies do all of these things and it’s not news.
