iGoogle left navigation bar feels so poor for me

Well you know Google has released a new interface with the left navigation bar and some features at iGoogle, and I used this interface for the sake of their A-B test since the last summer. Now you would see this and feel something, and I conclude that the new user interface with the left navigation bar seems to be poor for me. The following lines should be my points and reasons.

First, developed navigation bar should hide other items anyway. Since the old tab interface was not the best interface when we make 10 or more tabs on the top of iGoogle, menu items could be placed on another position alternatively. But now the left navigation will hide bottom menus because title of gadgets will be shown anyway. In my situation, 15 titles of each gadget take 300px height and this left navigation would be shown 200px below from the top of contents pane, so at least vertical 500px length would be used for unnecessary gadget titles and pretty wide header area.

Second, the left navigation bar takes 130px width and each gadget should be narrow for the width of menu, therefore we have to scroll the window more. I would like to suggest iGoogle user interface team to think again. Why iGoogle could have 3 or more columns? Yeah most of RSS titles are short expressions such as “Joe the Plumber eats BigMac in London” (silly one, but not offensive against Joe himself), so the title of each gadget will be short to show on the ordinary width of window. Then we can set the width of gadget and tile in the contents pane, but we do not want to scroll.

Third, we can not drop gadget on another tab to move for the different category. This “new feature” will suck for elementary users because newbies do not know the fact that a gadget will be set the “current tab” when they add. Current? Yes if you watch something on “security” tab you made and hit the “add stuff >>” link, you will add a new gadget on the “current tab”, not on your iGoogle. So we should show an intended tab contents and add stuff after, or else we have to move that new stuff to another tab. But in the new iGoogle, we can not do that by drag and drop but do that in “tab editor”. It seems to be redundant for me.
