The problem that I have, and that many here seem to have, is that as "advanced" users, we've already built a fully-customized system for ourselves. Like when Dropbox came out, and we all had git/svn/cvs versions of the same thing going back years. As a result, any changes are inevitably going to break our workflow. Even changes that are better for the common man cannot be better than our customized system. For example, now it filters social email into the same folder: great, I can ignore it while I'm at work. Except my twitter alerts from my company account. So it breaks. As another example, you apparently can't customize the tabs, and it disables multiple inbox. I spent a few years coming up with the optimum GTD steup for myself in gmail, and it's broken now. I think the solution here is really for people like me to use a different email client. Gmail has become the defacto winner, but there's probably a market in making a different client for tech-savvy, very heavy users, with customizable interactions.
