Forcing new windows is just plain rude

I've been using googles various tools for sometime now, I was a fairly early adoptor of gmail, spreadsheets and started using writely just after its relaunch. So I was glad to see them start making efforts to integrate these tools, in gmail you now get a little "Services" toolbar on the top left, but when you click anything on it, it forces it open in a new window! This isn't a big problem in firefox since you can middle click and open in a tab. But then in docs and spreadsheets, trying to middle click on "New Document" will result in a page telling you turn on javascript! Please google, give us the choice of how many windows we open, most of us have more than enough already!

I whole-heartedly agree. The only time you should open a new window is, maybe, when you're sending someone to non-HTML content. I don't mind so much if a site uses new windows to open PDFs and videos, for example.
