This follows the general trend with GMail, which is that it progressively gets worse with every revision, while bugs that have been present for (now a decade, sometimes!) never get fixed. I just don't understand modern web development. It's baffling.

Huge numbers of programmers are ostensibly employed to work on these projects, but they only degrade and never improve. Why is this? Why is the only things that seem to happen "UI overhauls" which usually _remove_ features and tell you to "switch back to the old UI" to do things?

I guess this is what happens where there is centralized control and not a lot of competition. Products don't get better because they don't have to. It's very hard for new entrants to compete, so teams that repeatedly fail to deliver quality software never die off.

As a result, it's just basically random. You get whatever happens to come out of that team. It doesn't matter that it's worse, because there's no natural selection to weed it out and end up with something better :( So frustrating.

Why do you still use the Gmail Web UI then? You might as well hook up a good old mail client to it via IMAP and SMTP.
