I always want to reply to the most recent message, but usually someone else responds while I am composing. So I have to view their message and reply to that instead of to the original message. Does this happen to anyone else, or am I taking crazy pills?

I completely agree. We all have some sort of window manager that deals with handling multiple windows in a consistent way. We don't need every website reinventing window management in their own half-assed manner, that is utterly inconsistent with other sites and other applications.
I don't think the average user can really deal with multiple windows efficiently.
That looks great! It feels to me though that google is still playing serious catch-up to it's main competitors (yahoo & microsoft) in the email arena who both have great web-mail solutions that don't get the accolades they deserve. Now all I need is full folder support and I'm happy!
That said, HM does seem to have some nice features such as a decent spam filter (finally; it used to be laughable) and easy unsubscribe. But bury it under a poor UI and I just dread using it.
Or maybe when you say "great web-mail" it's blindingly obvious to everyone but me that you're referring to something else, in which case ignore me. :)

That is keeping with google's newly found traditions. For example, the ajax-ing of search has mostly broken the back key among others. Shit Case 1: sometimes you do a search, find a new phrase and begin typing it only to see the phrase disappear from the original search results and replaced with updated results for an incomplete and often incoherent query. Shit Case 2: often I begin typing a new search query and real…
> I find some of these changes mind boggling and can only convince myself to accept them by tell myself "hey google looks at the numbers, may be most folks just like it". Particularly the ajax search...annoys the crap out of me and finds way to enable itself even when I disable it. Google needs to be usable by everyone. They iterate the product to make sure that most people get good search results. But this means tha…
+ was changed because of Google+ branding, IMO.

Which type of tablet? This is solved in Android 4.2 with multiple accounts. You can both use the native client without privacy concerns.
Theoretically. That feature's been announced, not shipped. Don't be so quick to rule out privacy concerns on a feature that no one's used.
I prefer Gmail since its redesign back in April. There, I said it.
Do you have "compact mode" turned on? I mostly like it, except the contact info side bar can cut into my email pane when I dont have my browser fullscreened.
Does anyone else get annoyed when replying to threads with multiple people? I always want to reply to the most recent message, but usually someone else responds while I am composing.

I hate being the guy who sidetracks a thread off the bat by complaining about something unrelated, but... Whatever blogspot theme Google uses for this blog is just god awful (oh, I see, this is it: http://gmailblog.blogspot.co.uk/p/as-you-may-have-noticed-gm... ), and I swear it gets worse every time I view a post there. To wit: When I load the page I see the orange "loading" gears. Then that sliiiiides up to reveal…
Worse yet, they've somehow broken the ability to hit space to scroll by a page.

I find this theme great actually: it plain and simply doesn't work in Camino, which is my browser of choice, so I just blacklist any site which shows "the gear"
Seriously? Chrome, Firefox, Safari... etc... Time to upgrade and stop blaming the web for advancing.
