Did anyone else use Google Notebook and is totally miffed that they stopped development and support on it?

I used Google Notebook for research. It was jacked in with Firefox’s Google Notebook plugin which sat in my FF statusbar and was always ready to be employed to copy URLs and make quick notes.

Now It’s no longer supported so FF won’t allow it as a plugin. Google Notebook is still out there, but now the workflow has been crapped because Google isn’t sanctioning it anymore.

Here’s their “reasoning:”

Was anyone else out there a fan/user and not happy about this?
