Agreed, but some of their other products are very well designed IMO. It usually takes a while for them to get to that point though, so Inbox may be headed there soon.

Did it really take a while for their other products to get to that point?

I recall Gmail being something so immediately appealing and better than the status quo that people ditched their existing email services and applications overnight to start using it.

Could be. The Google Cloud admin page is way nicer than Rackspace's or both of the Microsoft Azure pages. Maybe Material is just going through their internal hype cycle until it matures.
