Like Justin said, they have a habit of producing solid programs with the worst UIs I’ve ever seen. Gmail is useable, but only after years of development. And even now it’s pretty awful (ever tried to add a contact to GTalk?).

I played with Buzz for awhile this morning, and eventually just wiped my profile and disabled it. It lacks the simplicity of Twitter, the features of Facebook, or even the flexibility of (shudder) MySpace.

I’m very eager to see the apps that will be created once they expose the API for Buzz.
