Has a Google product ever been good?
- Search (was once good, now just "marginally better than Bing")
- Reader (was good, the highest profile victim of Google Death Syndrome)

Uhhh...
Maps? Mail? Pixel 2 and 3? Fi? Sheets?
Sure, their Cloud doesn't sell as much as Amazon's, but it's been praised as being a much more coherent product.
Not sure how anyone could argue that Google hasn't gotten it right several times.
I agree with none of the others.
Search and Gmail transformed the web.
Google Docs and Sheets brought standalone office suite online.
App Engine was ahead of it's time for cloud based applications.
Google Big Query still is an amazing cloud based way to analyze TB/PB of data cheaply.
I'm critical of some of their business practices, but denying quality of Google's products is myopic.
I would phrase it as "other search engines are catching up to Google's capabilities", myself.
It isn't noticeable better than DuckDuckGo, which is a better alternative for privacy reasons.
And then they killed it for no reason.
