Now if only they could get their multiple account sign-in feature polished. I use one Google account for Youtube, one for Google groups, and then my Apps account for email and plus. Why can't I set my preferred account for each service?

The day I went to Google.com and noticed I was signed in was the first sign of trouble. Why do I have to have my account used everywhere I go? I don't want you to log me in for searching when I check my email.

I would argue that you are probably the exception from the norm -- most users have only one account and would probably consider it a major inconvenience to have to log in multiple times across different Google properties.
Except they do have a multiple-accounts feature, so obviously it's important enough to support explicitly. I also hate the way it works. I have to use different browsers to have it work without irritation.

Hmm. Maybe there's a plugin.
