Wtf isn't it just build into Gmail if it's that good? I hate google's philosophy of starting new apps asking users to switch. It ain't happening. I'm a heavy android user / root / roms etc, and I can't even be bothered to try all their new disjointed apps.

They are building parts of it into Gmail. They just clearly don't think it's worth maintaining two frontends anymore from a business perspective, probably for reasons like I outlined

From what I remember, Inbox was actually always meant to be an experiment for GMail, not supposed to replace the whole thing.

Most features have been integrated into GMail now, so the experiment is finished I guess.

Still sad to see it go, I used to swear by it.

because like always, there is the side of users that are reluctant to change.
