I wonder what scale would have been enough. According to the play store it has over 10 million installs
Could that just mean 1 million people installed it 10 times?

Settings -> Inbox -> Categories is analogous, although IMO the UI isn't as nice. I also don't know if that lets you do custom bundles, although that's a feature I never used in Inbox. Edit: and the gmail version of bundles has fewer categories than Inbox does
Sorry, not even close. Categories is just automatic folders, every email client has had folders for decades.

Deleting/sweeping a section of emails away on mobile is a huge productivity boost for me. The Gmail app on Android doesn't have this feature from what I can tell. Snooze was a big one too, but that got crippled in Inbox a while ago as well.
The ability to mark emails as done or to pin them were hallmark features of the Inbox interface and they both take significantly more work in Gmail. I'm severely disappointed that they've decided to axe Inbox without at least pretending to care - by eg. providing a user survey.
Monolist integrates directly into the tools you use and surfaces things that you can act on inline in the app (missed Slack mentions, Asana tasks, Calendar invites etc.). We're actually working on a GMail integration right now and would love to hear from the community what kinds of Inbox features we could replicate successfully.
These are really unfortunate news! :( My stress level just went up after opening gmail.com after few years since I switched to Inbox. Being used to just swiping emails that I didn't need to attend, I didn't realize they were still in "unread" status. Now when I opened Gmail, I see: Social 190 Updates 4,856 Forums 3,329 Promotions 4,214 The worst part is that I cannot see which of those "Unread" emails are pinned in I…

I recently switched back to Gmail from Inbox (before this announcement) and was pleasantly surprised that most of the features from Inbox were there. I barely had to change my workflow.
I like the way Inbox handles certain kind emails differently —- e.g. it extracts relevant data from newsletters, tickets, receipts, order confirmations, package tracking emails etc. so they are available at a quick glance. A quick glance tells me that is not the case with Gmail — correct me if I am mistaken.

Trips was the killer feature. I hope they port it. The ability to collect all my related information (a particular trip for example) into a single view was genius.
From a different perspective, Trips was surprisingly annoying for me! I had a team we're I'd need to approve other people's trips which would automatically show up as my own in calendar etc. This was especially annoying when our trips would overlap to the same destination. Unfortunately, it didn't have an easy way to mark what was my trip and what wasn't in any sort of repeatable fashion.
