O_o Has Outlook become so bad that Gmail is considered stripped down?

Actually, considering what Windows 8/10 are like, that shouldn't really be a surprise.

But what about Outlook Web Access? Last time I used that, I think it was more lightweight than even Gmail's "Basic HTML" interface (the one which is apparently going away in a few months).

OWA is pretty much the full Outlook these days, it's sort of impressive sort of stupid.

Thinking specifically of the android Gmail app. I avoid using the browser version.
