Pop-up Gmail compose now default whether you like it or not

Really disappointed with making it a default. I would always prefer it to be in the old style.

If you click on the small triangle/"arrow" in the bottom-right corner (when the "New Message" window is open) you are given the possibility to "temporarily switch back to the old Compose".

Borrowed time, I know, but...

God dammit. On my Apps accounts it's still try or convert. Thinking it's probably a good time to switch.

Good thing it's a long weekend - going to backup and migrate a couple of my smaller domains over to Outlook...

Out of curiosity, why is this such a big deal?

- Too many clicks to have the same results. (Canned responses are +60% of the work and have no shortcut !?!)

- Copying the email of the sender requires too many actions (you can no more <ctrl>+c it simply. We often need that to do some checks in an other application)

- Bugs

- The size of the Windows is way too small (We often send detailed procedures which are long. Shorter = user lost or more questions)

- ...

It wasn't broken to begin with. I honestly don't even understand why they felt like this was necessary. Make it optional, if anything.

G should have put the gmail UI resources on Reader instead...
