Don't get me started about the compose box (really any text box with their "rich text" implementation). It is terrible.

Like you said, the input alone has crazy latency. But the logic built into their formatting sends me through the roof most of the time.

Don't want bold text? Too bad, you're getting bold text because you enabled bold text one time about 10 minutes ago. Even though you disabled bold text, like, a second after you enabled it, you just now hit the enter key so you get bold text! And don't you even think about returning to non-formatted typing after you just pasted-in some text which may or may not have had formatting applied even though you did the very special kind of paste where plain, non-formatted text is supposed to be rendered!

Clearly, it has affected me.
