Google Has Revamped Gmail Again

My anger over the last “improvements” Google made to Gmail still hasn’t subsided, and now comes this, presumably to fan my hate flames even more.

Reports the Verge:

Gmail’s redesign separates messages into as many as five tabs, with each designed to group messages into categories that make it easier to scan and process email. In addition to the main tab, which continues to be sorted by priority, the tabs include:

– social, containing messages from social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and dating services;
– promotions, for Groupon, LivingSocial, and the like;
– “updates,” for confirmations, receipts, bills, and statements;
– and forums, for messages from discussion boards and mailing lists.

New users will see the social and promotions tabs by default; they can be configured from the desktop or the Android app but not yet on iOS. Existing users who have chosen a different style, such as Priority Inbox, will have to opt in to the new view.

I’m sure this will just frustrate and confuse me and I will hate it because old. BRING BACK THE OLD GOOGLE DOCUMENTS, GODDAMIT!
