I find it hard to believe GCP is not chasing the UX experience since they have actively focused on building arguably non-priority features like a fully functional terminal within the cloud UI.



They care more than zero, but about feature completeness more than speed. Keeping in mind that their leading competitor (AWS) leaned heavily on CLI, providing web frontends is seen as a competitive advantage.

But they're far more focused on spanning feature set than the speed of the result.


Having used both, I prefer AWS's UI over GCP's


What funny is that AWS's UI was built with GWT -- Google Web Toolkit -- technology that Google abandon in favor of Angular.
