I amazed how much people get annoyed by such a small and insignificant detail.

I also noticed the "Imbox" but i dont believe i thought about it for more than 1 second.

It's a minor distraction that isn't necessary and doesn't add anything.

When I see a typo, I instinctively go back and re-read the word or sentence to make sure I didn't misread something.

The last thing I want in my e-mail client is additional mental overhead. It's a minor detail, but it's also unnecessary, subtracts more than it adds, and it's easy to fix.

It's bad, but it's such a minor flaw. If you won't use hey because of that, either you don't care at all about any of the actual features (in which case, sure, don't use it) or you're being dramatic.

> doesnt add anything

This entire discussion thread exists because of that one little thing. In other words, it adds marketing value. Getting people to discuss your product, even if negative, is still free marketing.

Doesn't add anything for users, then.

You don't think analysis of exactly that sort of behavior is a valid discussion or a valid component in evaluation their character? And you don't think the character & culture of a company is a valid ingredient in deciding whether to use them and pay them?

I do.
