On: I feel like Gmail went from being Photoshop to Draw Something

Revolutionary idea! Why not use Thunderbird?

Or any other mail client?

[scholia → emp_zealoth]

Nobody wants to use Thunderbird just because it's faster than using the web interface, more functional, adds useful features, and keeps a backup of your email on your hard drive.

Unfortunately it involves running a program on a PC and the PC is dead. Nobody uses PCs any more. Didn't you get the memo? :-)
