I find that positions the cursor after my email sig, or frequently
fails to actually move to the bottom of the email at all and leaves
one typing at the bottom but looking at the top.

But it's a web app, so is liable to change at any time with no notice
or warning.

I concur. But I am starting to consider that maybe it is time to go
back to using an actual local client app, at least on my primary
machine. That is poor progress and a distinct step down. I really Do
Not Like the "new look" we had foisted upon us a while ago; the "new
compose" is even worse.

At one point, I was worried about Google's growing power. Now, with
its recent moves (Gmail tweaks, closing of Google Reader and Wave &
many other services, the arrival of good competitors to Android & the
lack of a coherent response, & above all, the loss of exclusivity on
the PageRank patent in 2011) I am much less so; I think it might
actually weaken itself into a much less influential position.
