Comment on Google's new "batshit crazy" UX

Comments

The most annoying part of Google's UI is changing email settings inside Gmail, and I know I'm not alone in this... On the top right, there's a link for your name, a link for your avatar, and THEN below those the most important one you probably want (that wheel icon): the email settings link. So annoying!

I don't care about changing my Google Plus or account settings if I'm in Gmail. I wanna set up filters or setup aliases. Why is the email settings link not prominently featured? I always end up clicking the wrong link when I want to change email settings. Also, don't get me started on creating a filter. That used to be 1-click and DONE in the old settings, now it's like finding Waldo. Ridiculous.
