Ask HN: Why is Gmail trying to change its UI? How many are still on the old classic gmail UI and how many are on new one? Also, is anybody using inbox.google.com? |

And I suspect that design was made to appeal to more 'casual' users, with the assumption being that a more minimalistic look would be more appealing/popular/usable for them.
But it's not really working. Based on people I've spoken to, many seem to despise the new design and almost everyone I've asked wanted to switch back to the classic version. That's not about techies either, it's more casual and often older users that seem annoyed by the new design too.
Guess I'm not much of an advanced email user though, I use probably 3 other mail apps for various accounts and don't take advantage of any other features.
It's a much better workflow.
I wish I was able to archive/snooze everything in every app.
