Add this to the list of rubbish software by Google. People just assume that because a small number of Google projects have legitimately impressing programming prowess that this standard of quality is consistent among the ~30,000 engineers at the company. In my experience, Google software tends to be fairly poor on average.
Legitimately good:
* Some parts of Android
* Chrome (due in no small part to the architectural origins set by KHTML and Apple)
* V8
Assumed to be good because the results are great but who the fuck knows what sort of hacked up garbage is under the hood:
* Google search
* Google maps
* Advertising networks
* ChromeOS
Was already good when they bought the company that made it:
* Google Docs
* Google Earth
* SketchUp
Hot garbage:
* Many parts of Android
* Most of the Android SDK
* Google Desktop, Toolbar, Talk and countless other pieces of shit Windows software
