Comment on Is Google turning Gmail into an App platform?parent

Email is only broken from the authentification point of view. The idea of using email for every need is broken.

Agreed. Do we really want Gmail to be a great operating system lacking only a decent mail client? What is this, emacs 2.0?

And so what if people are using it differently then how it was originally intended? Give me a well designed tool, and I'll use it in 930294 ways it wasn't indented to be. That doesn't mean I'm going to like the new super-multi-purpose swiss army knife version of that tool.... Keep it simple stoopid, get off my lawn, not in my back yard, go unix, etc etc </curmudgeony old person rant>
