Honest question: do you think you really like it or are you really used to it? When Google made the move to Inbox, I switched because I wanted to be using their newest interface. Over time I came to absolutely hate it and that drove me away from Gmail. My wife still uses it so I occasionally find myself in the Inbox app on our tablet. Just a few days ago, actually, I read something in her inbox and for the life of me I could not figure out to mark it as unread from the inbox list. Maybe I was just missing something obvious, but it was very frustrating to not have such a simple action easily available.

I'm someone who definitely dislikes it but I'm too used to it. The automatic categorization is so useful that I feel like I can't be without it.

I really like how Inbox encourages getting to "inbox zero" (and maintaining it). It makes it very easy to archive things, snoozing emails for later is great, and reminders allow to add some short todos to the inbox where they are less likely to be missed.

I find it surprising that my search seems more comprehensive and faster in mutt than by the king-of-search's very own.

  Yeah, I use notmuch in emacs for my mail, and searching is way better than in gmail. Gmail's interface is very limiting, actually. It's pretty good for a web app, and probably better than Outlook/Exchange, but when the competition is so poor it's easy to seem good.

I don't want to switch between a bunch of folders, I just want mail in those folders to appear grouped in my inbox Edit: and Snooze. I don't think I'll ever like using a client that can't snooze an email anymore

Yes I really like Inbox. It works really well as a 'TODO' list for email, plus with niceties for travel and what not.
