One of the nice things about web apps is that you generally don’t have to learn a new interface because they all have common elements, that also map to your platform.
Now instead of my nice OSX buttons in Gmail I get generic Yahoo Mail-ey buttons.
Still, I see part of why they did this: HTML seriously needs a form elements upgrade, including a better dropdown list solution than <select>.
