Appreciate your perspective. The idea that they do the exact same thing might be up for discussion. Trust me, if I were happy with what my OS provided, I definitely wouldn't have gone down this path to build this app. I feel that operating systems do a good job with desktop apps for the most part. The real challenge lies with web apps, tabs, and distraction-free workflows. The aim of my solution is to reduce friction and make it easier to use your web-based work tools.

That exchange reminds me of a group of russians making an OS with a browser that is a mail client, irc client, rss reader, news reader, calendar and a few other things I forget. But again no workflow. A good client understands and if necessary forces you to do the next thing. Say a mail has a web link. The sensible thing to do would be to store a fullpage screenshot with the email because web pages evaporate. Doing this with tools not designed for that specifically is so much work you shouldn't even bother to try it. You want to reply? NO, YES, YES but not now. Then it should show up in the todo list. If the todo item only lives in "draft emails" it will get lost.

They could have just used emacs ;) Enhanced integration between apps and uniformity is what OPs app offers I think, similar to why I use emace
