The gal from google is running them into the ground. New homepage is unreadable and does not discriminate against ads vs AP news wire. Sports unlegible....who is running their UI design? And finally ymail - been spammed and remailed so many times, I had to drop them. embarrassing to friends and family to use that service! Gmail and outlook are much better managed.
Yep. It's crap. Maybe not crap exactly, but mired in the mundane - They are so busy focusing on flashy stuff that they have forgone the very things that made them a great thing - The thing is, every other web portal is focused on the exact same flashy crap, which is why it is mundane.

Again, YEP. I got rid of yahoo.com as my homepage years ago - I have been using search.yahoo.com as my homepage forever. Yahoo is all but unuseable - Bouncy flashy crap and 'news' made for 14 year old girls.
Yahoo Launch used to be an awesome place for streaming music - not any more... Image search used to be the best on the web - now it is just 'ok'... Yahoo Groups is total crap now. Geocities is gone. What exactly is left that makes Yahoo stand out?

I agree - I almost dumped YMail, but just about that time, they had to open MAPI in order to accommodate droids and phones - But what other apps does Yahoo have?
I don't think it's going away - but it is sinking down into the vast sea of mediocrity, and offering nothing new or useful that one cannot get a million other ways. And it is sad for me to see it so... Much like the demise of Netscape...
