This might be big, I was just done complaining about the user interface of the GMail web app. If this means that developers can now effectively create another interface on top of a real GMail API this has the potential to really change things. I can already envision several ways in how I could improve my inbox management and reduce the time spent sifting through emails.

    It seems like it would take a really big, promoted initiative with major players behind it to make a shift from IMAP, but it's good to know that other people have thought about it (your comment and its siblings).
