At my org we have some legacy software that uses the google analytics api. As you may be aware, that api has been discontinued for some reason. This application is going to nearly impossible to port to the new api.

There is no way to bring back the old api so we are looking at a few weeks of parcial downtime. I only took me a few weeks to figure that out.

Google cloud console is one of the most confusing websites I have ever seen. Each function is a separate page that has 300 menus and drop downs that take you to seperate pages. You want to see api permissions? Api permission manager. You want to see analytics? Analytics manager. You want to turn on a new api? Separate page.

Why!

The worst thing is that they haven't figured out how to update their help pages to reflect changes they make to their products in any kind of adequate manner.
