Simplicity is key to longevity. Since we launched in 2006, even as we’ve
added new features,
we’ve had very little desire to change our user interface. It’s simple, it’s clean, it’s quick
-- and as engineers, we like it.
However, the look of other Google
products has evolved significantly in the last four years. Rounded corners, for example, are
not used as aggressively as they used to be. Therefore, we’ve pushed out a small set of
changes that update the style of our pages.
