A lot of native mail clients don’t work well with GMail labels or “archive” feature. Labels are represented in IMAP as individual folders, so emails get duplicated multiple times locally if they have multiple labels. Also, Filters and other settings can’t be managed through IMAP. I used to use Apple Mail with IMAP, but nowadays I split the difference and use Mailplane to access my Gmail on desktop (essentially an application that shows the web app in a window), and the Gmail native apps on iPhone/iPad.
