The adwords management app might be one of the worst designed pieces of business software I've ever used.

Google Analytics was also full of strange decisions and unnecessary complexity.

I guess they don't get the good designers on their B2B stuff either.

If I was in charge of the gmail team my first goal would be making it faster. It always feels clunky when you need to open gmail.

Presumably, Google Analytics would be big on dogfooding… which is probably a sign that analytics-driven development isn't quite as useful as it's been touted to be. It's probably got great engagement metrics though!
