John, I'm guessing you're one of those younger folks that thinks along the
lines that the google developers do, I just don't see the google email
client as that friendly (neither do most of my colleagues). If you need to
completely change how you think about something as simple as email in order
to use the client, the client is the problem not the user.

No one said the problem is the user. And "different" isn't the same
thing as "better" or "worse". But different is often useful, and
sometimes things are different enough that you have to rework your
thinking *if* you are going to extract the value from that different
thing.

Would you say SQL is very "unfriendly" because it is awkward and
inefficient to do record-level access with it? What could be simpler
and more straightforward than accessing database records with RLA,
right?

I'm not young, but I'm not particularly old. My cell phone is the kind
that folds and has a tiny screen and touch-tone-style keypad. I leave
it off most of the time. My car has a manual transmission. There are a
lot of areas where I stick to traditional stuff, and other areas where
I've embraced newer things.
