http://andyrutledge.com/google-redux.php 2nd Paragraph first sentence.What Google does not do well is apply design appropriately to its search engine interface.
That comment is one of many in that article which in my mind is subjective. Google works fine for me. I don't need a toy to dress it up. Flame away
Umm... Yeah, more like totally a TOY!

Keep in mind it only works on Google.com - not the internationalised address like Google.ie.
I hate it when you try to access a .com address and they force a redirect... PHP does the same thing and its irritating, if I wanting to visit the .ie version I would have typed that into the location field...

If you are of that opinion, its not for you. For many others, who share the opinion that Google could use substantial improvements in design, its quite a nice improvement.agtlewis wrote:That comment is one of many in that article which in my mind is subjective.

Just saying its subjective doesn't make it less true. Everyone's opinion is subjective. The comments and opinions in the article were backed up with reasoning, which I note you didn't refute.
Further, its not a 'toy' to dress it up. Its a replacement interface for google that is more usable, and more accessible.
But as I said, if you don't think there is a need to improve, it wasn't meant for you. No one is forcing you to install it!
