Getting Harder(ish) To Delete Mail in Gmail

A few weeks ago, I noticed that the delete button disappeared on my GMail Android apps.  This was annoying for me, since I delete all unwanted mail.  I wasn't going to complain about it, though.  I knew why GMail was making the change.  Their philosophy was that you shouldn't delete anything.  Their search was just that fast, that you never needed to delete anything.  I didn't want to complain about it, though.  I figured I would just adjust to the new process of deleting mail.  Then I read some interesting feedback by other people.

Apparently a lot of people objected to this.  I didn't know there was a way to re-add the delete button in a buried option, but people demanded more.  I didn't realize how many people didn't subscribe to the GMail philosophy, just like I don't.  I'm glad that the delete button has returned.
