Welcome to the brave new World where Google is the new Microsoft. Do you think if they cared about user feedback they would have left the "New GMail" redesign in place after the tons of negative feedback?. http://news.techeye.net/software/google-to-angry-gmail-users-we-know-better http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2012/4/24/googles-cloud-throws-a-thunderbolt-to-gmail-users.aspx They dont care. They "know better". They re doing software and services for the uneducated masses, they dont care what you and I -or any other 'power user'- thinks. Google's idea is that ideally we should run Android or Chrome OS, not CentOS... But the real question is: why should we freak out if a piece of Google software becomes no longer available? The World wont end, specially when there are capable open alternatives like Mozilla s Firefox. Think "Picasa for Linux" (wine) In fact, I think it's positive if we give Google LESS influence than what they already have, not more.
