A user reports Notion has become laggy and the UI more confusing after recent updates, driving them back to Google Docs. Product quality regression in productivity tools is a recurring concern affecting user retention.

Availability-based booking tools like Calendly offer no quick per-day overrides and no meeting consolidation logic, causing bookees to scatter appointments across the day. Users lose control of their schedule and end up with fragmented, unproductive days. The structural lack of "smart buffering" persists across most scheduling tools.
