Completly disagree.

I only use GMail as gateway to aggregate my email accounts and synchronize with my Android devices, native mail client.

On Windows and GNU/Linux systems at home, I happily keep using Thunderbird.

Without specifics there's not much to discuss.

E.g. Thunderbird apparently only introduced threaded conversations 7 years after GMail did.

I hate threaded conversations, so that isn't something I even value.

Even if you personally dislike it, I think you can agree that it's one of the UX choices that made it storm over the alternatives at the time.

Not all our individual tastes align with what's most popular, obviously.

Not really, I guess many jumped on it, because it was a free email server from Google.

I still manage my own email servers.
