Why do Google remove efficient mouse based UI's for favor touch screen based UI's on PC platforms? After the trouble everyone was having with the Google Compose in Gmail, this is another nail in the coffin.
The issue access to apps like "Drive", "Calendar", "News", etc is NOW restricted by the need to navigate a grid all the way on the right side of the screen. This focus stealing design is no way efficient and only tailors a user experience for touchscreen users.
What used to be "Look, Point, Click" is now, "Scroll Right, Click, Look, Read, Click".

There is a solution for the new time robbing issue:
Install Stylish from Userstyles.org or from FF Addons page.
Install Google black nav bar returns from the Userstyles.org page.
On a serious note, these stop gap solutions just to gain user efficiency is wearing thin. And it is of a similar road to being frustrated with all the baggage tolerated using Microsoft Windows products, which lead to finding alternatives.
