I can tell you gmail's interface completely sucks now.
Every change they make is a whole new world of ruin.

Webmail dates back to providers not offering imap/submission,
no small part because it's harder to force feed ads down those
interface channels than with captive eyeballs in webmail. Many
other reasons but most of them are the provider choosing/forcing
webmail, not the user. Never forget the AOL captive UI.
