Hi Ansel,

Any development targeting the new Gmail Compose format?  This upcoming mandatory change by Gmail is disheartening!  

Too many clicks to get at the right functionality - everything is hidden or low contrast!  Apparent lack of support for some useful labs/extensions (canned responses, autopen).

Can you help bring this back to what come of us power users need?  

Thanks, I love Minimalist!

To be honest, I love the new compose window. I agree that hiding formatting options was a bad design choice but it hasn't affected my productivity since I was already using the keyboard shortcuts for formatting and they haven't changed.

The new compose window lets you write an email while looking at an email in a different thread without having to pop out either of them. That has increased my productivity quite a bit.

I guess what I'm saying is that I wouldn't have made them same choices if I was Google, but I'm also not going to prioritize fixing them.
