It still strikes me how Google Apps users, who actually pay for GMail & Co., are always the last ones to get the new stuff.
Well they test it on the free users, and give the Apps users a more stable version later.
They test new ideas and features on the luxury brands and then roll them out to the mass market brands later at lower prices.

Personally I'd love to try it, but all my work email is on Google Apps, not GMail, so no dice. I wish they had prioritized this because for me Inbox makes no sense for a low volume personal email account, which is what I use GMail for.

I love it because I can only look at my pinned items and focus on knocking a few out at a time, and only occasionally flipping back to the regular inbox view. (Which I find…
I zip through my email in gmail using keybindings, se/e/! respectively with gmail set to go to next message automatically. Takes me a few seconds to go through about 20 emails, then I circle back to the ones I starred.
