This is what it all comes to. Unparsable, terrible-to-use websites that are also not compatible with text-to-speech is the future because ad companies demand it. Users are complete non-entities in this decision.
Right now Gmail's HTML version is both faster and lighter than the regular version. The only advantage being not having to reload the entire page to load mails (which is still faster on the HTML version.)
