Google just can't do UI's, I can't think of a UI put out by google that I don't dislike, if not completely hate. It's almost like there's someone super senior in the company who forces bad decisions on designers.

The crowning achievement of absurdity is probably the YouTube app, it's not as bad as Skype, but given time they may get there.
