I knew it ... what a shame. You know what killed that product? BAD basic UI/UX. it was horrible to use an naviguate in,so people moved to something with better UX, better design and better visual. Google puts 0 efforts in these things, at least in the browser. Funny how then Google comes with "material design" , but can't update a few CSS on its old apps...

Github didn't get popular because it was written in Ruby(though it allowed them to iterate fast),it became popular because devs actually put some effort into the UI/UX and it made it easy to use ...

You know what else sucks? google app engine console , google apis console ... look at Heroku console , simple clean and usable, are you going to drop app engine too ?

So what's next after Google reader, and Google code? Google app engine ?
