Google never was a company that made best in class consumer software products. Search (maybe Maps?) is the only thing it's ever excelled at.

GMail was definitely best in class for web mail when it rolled out, and if something has taken its lead, I don't know what it is.

Search, Maps, Gmail, Photos, YouTube are all best in their field. They have a lot of products that are more niche but their core lineup is solid.
