Question (you might need to pass this one up the chain of command):

Was basic HTML gmail deprecated because users so overwhelmingly preferred slow, bloated UIs that there was no demand for an alternative?

We’re building infrastructure for these products rather than the products themselves.

I’ll be happy to answer questions about Angular and our collaboration with Wiz :)

If those products end up bloated and slow, perhaps, some blame can be placed on the tools, too?
Maybe that's justified, but it's just as likely that it's not.
tbh - killing of basic html Gmail was the last straw that pushed me to other mail provider... I usually use imap but once in a blue moon I need to access mailbox via browser and regular Gmail client is just abysmal...
