I don't like gmail's user interface any more. They have been tinkering too much with it in the last year or so. why couldn't they leave well enough alone.

The conversation mode of grouping emails (on my iphone) is a pain because you can easily overlook an email if it's in the middle of a conversation and wasn't the first email of the conversation or the most recent. "Overlook" is a generous name for it too, because they are hidden from view. You can't overlook something that was hiding. Overlook means there was something there to see and you missed it.

The scrolling down to the end of the email and expanding a dialog box when you want to reply to an email is quite annoying. I prefer a new window. Give me a little room to work, would ya?

The new tab setup they implemented today means I have to look in 3 different places to see my mail.

Change is fine, if it's an improvement.
