I do for my personal email, because the signal-to-noise ratio is so bad there's no reason to pay much attention to it. I manually check it when I'm expecting something (99% of the time, from a computer). I do use Basic HTML, though. The others barely add any features I care about and bloat the memory footprint by a large multiple. And their AJAXy loads take longer than full-page refreshes on Basic HTML gmail.
