I'm curious what you all think of GCP Console?

Most of it is not too bad, just a little slow, and it has some nice features. The UX of the main menu, however, is terrible. Scrolling through it is incredibly slow because the submenus are synchronously expanding while scrolling, and I've had a submenu get so stuck I had to refresh the page to be able to interact with anything.

Thanks for the feedback, fixes are on the way for the issues you mentioned. :)

Compared to AWS? i find it slow and glitchy, the UX + material UI adds too many clicks to get the what i want.

Interestingly enough I have the complete opposite reaction. I find the various AWS consoles to be fragmented and obtuse compared to GC, which feels pretty organized to me.

But on the plus side:

- easily switch between multiple Google accounts (vs. the utter pain of using multiple AWS accounts)

- the "cloud shell" is nice

- switch from wizard point-and-click to generate the equivalent SDK CLI command in the "cloud shell"

It works, but not too much more to say. Azure Portal UI completely blows GCP and AWS out of the water.

What do you like most about Azure Portal UI?

Microsoft always had great UI's and shitty programming.
