Not only are Google interfaces ugly - I agree this is personal - but they remain unusable.
Indeed, they picked up good ideas from others (mobile interfaces from iOS, flat-ish design from Microsoft), but everything is cheap, in a lesser good quality, and particularly not user-friendly.
I'm thinking of:
- the new google maps - the new google drive - the new inbox - their google contact app - google play music - android interfaces as a whole
Please google, keep on being a data-gatherer, data-distributor instead of an app creator, and outsource this to other people who tackle this issue decently.
