>many of their software products are bloated and slow as fuck

Which? I regularly use Gmail, Maps, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Home, Voice, and Takeout. I don’t think any of those are bloated or slow, but maybe I’m missing something.

I’m also curious which you think are top class.



The ones I think are top class are not really end-user oriented, it's core stuff like the search engine, their JS engine, etc. (IMO) The bloated ones are their webapps that suck up gigabytes and gigabytes of ram and CPU resources (client side) for basic stuff like showing you one couple of pages of emails or playing a video file.
