G-d Damn It!!!! we agree again! Is this becoming a habit?
We won't truly agree on much of the larger picture until you change
your stance that "interaction" designers need not understand fully
the fundamentals of graphic design as part of the job description.
That means the fundamentals of good typography, color theory and
application, composition, the grid, layout, etc. I'll let you off
the hook in bringing up basic markup and scripting skills for now.
As much I think Google's products are functionally useful but still
pretty poorly designed overall using my definition of what
constitutes interface design (which I've said for many years now, so
that shouldn't be a surprise), it's hard to argue that the engineers
at many technology and software companies like Google should hand
over the accountability of the design of their products if those
around them that call themselves designers use Visio as their
primary drawing tool and can't build decent prototypes that involve
more than scissors, glue and a lot of hand waving.
I am, if anything, an equal opportunity curmudgeon.
