Because all of these new stuff Google has been putting is a sneaky way on putting G+ all over Google products.

Bottomline, they need develop good taste in web design.

Last time i checked you dont need to use the evil g+ product - the nav bar was a good thing. You just rant for no real reason in my opinion.

I feel the same way as bodegajed; I consider the way they're littering G+ everywhere to be very tacky, akin to something I'd expect from Microsoft or AOL. While I'm far from boycotting Google tools, it does make me want to avoid G+ entirely.

To be clear, though: I think this new bar in general is a usability improvement. The gray bar looked like ass, and having a consistent search box does make sense.

I did it. I logged out of Gmail/G+ in my primary browser, to unbreak Search, and I use a private window for Gmail.

Google puts G+ in your searh results, with no opt out. G+ is fine on its own, but the creepy invasion across other products is annoying. Google used to be the classy alternative on the web. Now they are trying to out-mySpace Facebook.

Yes, but how is moving the navigation bar to a drop down doing that? I understand your point, but unless I am missing something its just a random complaint against Google, in this case.
