+The current Gmail is barely usable. Everything is big, clumsy, and dull. And it has a loading screen. A webpage in 2023 with a loading screen!
+
+The best way to enjoy being forced to use Gmail is via a desktop app. My personal combo [mbsync](https://isync.sourceforge.io/mbsync.html) / [notmuch](https://notmuchmail.org/) / [emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/) is relatively standard but still deserves it's own post.
+
+But recently, I've learned that the old, fast, cute Gmail web interface is still available! Just go to [https://mail.google.com/mail?ui=html](https://mail.google.com/mail?ui=html) and enjoy. It even defaults to writing in plain text, as all clients should.
