I have been doing UX and interaction design for 50 years. I've worked on development of hundreds of products, and reviewed or used thousands. For example, I was the first Acrobat user outside of Adobe. I invented the sparkline. I sold the Apple I computer by showing how easy it was to program. That's just a few highlights.
Yahoo's new e-mail is far and away the worst overall product I've ever used in my career. There are at least half a dozen text editing woes with controlling cursor with commonly used keys combinations; cutting and pasting text; and other issues, now on top of errors about line ending and other problems that they never fixed from the PREVIOUS text editor!
How do you dare to change the environment of millions of users and be able to sleep at night? Do you do it because you have captive users with high switching costs? I can't see any other possible reason (e.g., you must have UX people on staff with IQ over 50). Do you realize how ethically blind that is? Shall we influencers begin a mass exodus of Yahoo! e-mail users? Would the ensuing economic turmoil and layoffs finally be enough to demonstrate your errors? Are you daring us to go there?
