While all of this consolidation of their myriad overlapping services and products into a small suite of core services that offer strong featuresets makes sense, I'm constantly astonished how bad they've done at it. Bombarding users with annoying questions about Plus (and the questions are annoying regardless of your opinions on Plus - they never should've even tried to make Plus optional, just enable it but keep it out of the freaking way) and screwing up these transitions... does anybody like any of these new Google apps? And these new apps are increasingly awful or nonexistent outside of Android/Chrome. Can you even send a message through hangouts without installing the browser plug-in? Do they even have a browser-version of Currents?
