This is why I dont use Google products. They get a life of ~18 months and then they are sent to the farm up north.

While there was some UI/UX benefits to Inbox, it seemed mostly to be an experiment.

> In April of this year, Google released a complete redesign of Gmail that incorporated nearly all of the key features of Inbox

Still, it was nice to see some internal competition and Inbox was pretty well done.

They forgot to incorporate the cleanliness of Inbox and the auto-consolidation of emails into a big summary for those traveling (flight number and hours delays, etc).

I'm gonna miss it, it was really easy to deal with emails as tasks and achieve inbox-zero.
