    Discovered an old GMail tab that still has old compose. Painful dilemma: try to preserve it, or just resign self to grim future?

        @paulg the new compose is horrible. I'm open to change, but this version is just poor design.

        @andyy @paulg pro tip: try "gmail offline" (aka the tablet version) on the desktop for a better compose experience. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gmail-offline/ejidjjhkpiempkbhmpbfngldlkglhimk?hl=en …

        @paulg You can get part of the way back by setting full screen compose (just a bigger, centered window) to default: http://thenextweb.com/google/2013/08/13/google-switches-everyone-to-gmails-new-compose-window-says-farewell-to-the-old-version-for-good/ …

        @paulg There's a way to set maximized to be the default now. Pretty much replicates the old experience as far as my use goes.
