Thanks for the dialog. Worse than AWS? What areas? I don't think Google Cloud console is amazing as far as dashboards go, but it is way better (to me) than AWS web console.

I think so, yes. For example: You can browse BigQuery tables you have access to in a tab, but have to open a new tab to your project where you have billing attached to actually query those tables. So if you're part of a large organization with multiple divisions with their own billing, there is no way to see your tables and query them in the same view.

Most of the console feels to me like the people who build it don't actually use it.

Vertical sucks. You have to scroll down to somewhere different each time to find the thing you want. Also, the search box doesn't have all results cached so you type in, e.g. endpoints and it pauses for a few seconds until it displays a link to the menu. The GCP console sucks.
