I like to keep things simple. I like to add great new features that make something useful. Can I have both? According to Google: FUCK YOU AND SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU'LL TAKE WHAT YOU GET AND LIKE IT!
The new GMail is magical example of everything that is good about using webmail today. It is also a hellish nightmare when it comes to using a device that doesn't have Google apps available. If I see an email and I read it on my phone I have no idea where it actually is in GMail. Thankfully I keep my personal email cleaned up, otherwise I'd be out of luck. I have no idea how a regular user would fair with this change. The email application helps to simplify this process, but if you don't use it... you might have a bad time.
I can't tell if I love or hate it. I'm still getting used to it. The tabs for different types of emails is very nice. I wish there was an easier way to integrate it into other mail applications, though. Sometimes I want those same filters on my phone, but can't have them without the app. I mean, they could always make apps for Windows Phone 8 and quit fucking up my life (I MISS YOU GOOGLE APPS!).
I'm going to give it some time and then revisit this feeling. Right now I think I'm just sad that Google covers so many things that I just don't have access to anymore. Ugh.
