I don't really find that it's that bad of an app. It's not the most amazing app ever, but if you're a Gmail user, my initial impression on the iPhone 4S is that it's slicker and faster than the web version of Gmail (not a big bar to clear, but it clears it), and it has the one crucial feature which makes me an instant convert, which is that it's easy to view certain inboxes - namely, Important and Unread. That alone makes it better than the native iPhone Mail application for me, since now I'm not going to get automated messages, newsgroup messages, etc., in my phone's main inbox. So far I'm quite happy with it (I noticed the error on initial launch but ignored it - stupid mistake for Google to make, but didn't seem to affect my use of the application) and I'm kind of relieved it doesn't have push notifications, since I'm not sure I want them unless I can turn them off. Not so sure why everyone is piling on so hard.
