Firebase is fantastic and that's because they built their toolset and UI before being acquired by Google.

They recently Google-ified their website but it's still less of a mess than Google cloud console (which feels like navigating a helicopter's dashboard).

First impressions matter and I think Firebase nailed it. The website presents the value clearly while also allowing you to get into the weeds if you need to. They ought to put their design team in charge of the rest of Google's cloud platform.

Agreed. Google cloud console is a mess. In 5 years Firebase acquisition cost would be considered peanuts for the value they've added to Google.
