Have I mentioned that I hate gmail? Their oauth login thing makes logging in with alternative clients a huge pain in the ass, and it's regular login requires a bunch of hoops to jump through and even then it barely works.

Really tired of this shit and that so many orgs require using it for "work email".

The calendar is also a pain.

People capitulating to megacorps ruining open protocols fills me with despair and is a recurring paint point.

Also now I'm seeing more sites that are like "Oh you need to use Chrome to access this" which I thought the web had gotten over for a while now.

Especially annoying when I'm loading via a chromium browser that certainly has whatever Google-pushed feature they want to use anyway.

Did people really give up on progressive enhancement and cross browser interop?

I've been observing similar symptoms, it's painful to see technological progress going backwards.

My best suggestion is to create an open spec within a spec, gain popularity and leverage, then like a wedge, split the outer spec open.
