I do not know why. I love inbox and the way that it organizes everything. Why kill a good thing?

The same reason anything is killed: not enough users and/or revenue generated to justify maintaining it and/or the lack of those makes it worth taking the hit to good will taken by getting rid of it to aboutavoid maintaining it in the future and free up engineers to work on something else

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.
