The clusterfuck waste of space that is Mozilla Thunderbird. “?” for buttons I've never used on this page, or don't know what they are for, or how they are relevant.

Notice how I can barely read the message — I have a 1920x1080 monitor, and still I can barely find the space to use this program.

Why Does Thunderbird insist on wasting my screen space??

I mean seriously??? What clusterf*ck minded person keeps reducing the screen area with every release to load the damn interface with more and more useless tools???  I mean, honestly, I can see why Jeff is always saying that Gmail beats the crap out of its competition.  I mean, google even has enough space left over to ADVERTISE TO ME!  But thunderbird, ohhh nooo, i don’t even have enough screen real-estate left to see the message I’ve received, much less write a new one.

And get this, what moron thought that having me “confirm” every time I don’t include a subject was a good idea, i mean, the subject line is right in front of my frickin’ face, clearly I don’t want to write a synopsis.  How about you do the MSWORD thing and put the first line in the subject, and if I don’t like it, i’ll change it.

These people really need to put more thought into the interface itself, rather than the damn button placement and whatever “UI/placement” theory bs blog they’re subscribing to.  I don’t NEED TABS!  And if you’re going to stick them in anyway, maybe follow firefox more closely and let me TURN THEM OFF!
