Ugh, you definitely do not use more multiple google services if you think that.

Even today, years afterwards, I was on the phone checking my calendar and I totally lost the train of the conversation as I was hunting in that dumbass thing for the calendar.

The worst part is that, yes, the top was getting stuffed, but instead of letting you choose what you wanted in your menu, they added that navigation monstrosity instead.

I just find it bizarre the number of people that do this. For me, I open a new tab, and start typing "calendar.google.com", but I don't even get past c or ca on most computers before it autocompletes.

And can't you customize that menu? Just make it work for you.

For service I use frequently, I pin a tab so they are always open. So for me, the app drawer is rarely used.

I just leave calendar and gmail open all the time.
