I wouldn't care if I could use GMail from Emacs, but Google makes it increasingly more difficult to do that (and for some -- impossible) because they want their users to use the Web version over which they have more control. The new version of GMail has a lot of anti-features, s.a. bad text editor, uses too much screen for things I don't care about, it interacts very poorly with screen readers and any kind of automation / plugins that imitate user input (eg. I use Surfingkeys and simply selecting an email, as in "clicking" the checkbox is a game of whack-a-mole). I mean, it's just all around worse from functionality perspective. Why would I want that?
