> Gmail was great when it launched; nothing's really surpassed it, and they've largely avoided fucking it up.

Mail client. Relational data best formatted in a tabular style.

Takes 5-10 seconds to load.

Avoided fucking it up, huh.

Exactly.

I've been using the HTML version (https://mail.google.com/mail/h/) but now they're threatening to shut it down too. First it was January, now February. I wonder why it's still up but don't have hopes that it'll stay up for long.

Looks like they're going to kill it later this month. Today when I tried to use the HTML version, a splash screen loaded that said this:

Starting from February 2024, this version of Gmail (Basic HTML Gmail) will no longer be supported, and you'll automatically start using Standard Gmail. Switch to the latest Gmail version now.
