Clearly you haven't had the privilege of using Lotus Notes ;-) My anecdotal counterpoint: Gmail is one of the most reliable products I regularly use.

Man, if I could "Gmailify" my Notes inbox (without breaking some IBM proprietary-data rule) that'd be heaven. Verse doesn't come close.

Almaden had a research project called BlueMail which was pretty good. Naturally, it wasn't encouraged outside of Almaden.

Yeah, I assume you mean the manual refresh button that has gone missing? Pisses me off too when I know there is new mail.
You can click "Inbox" again to force a refresh. Still sucks, but better than reloading the entire page forcibly.

Not only that but there's a bug between Gmail and Firefox that causes gmail to freeze on "Loading ..." after a while and not update anymore. I believe that's what GP is referring to and it is infuriating.
It's depressing. I switched back from Chromium to Firefox and been getting tons of small issues like this...
Inbox is worse for me (although I realise probably not for most) because automated emails are usually really important for me as they are telling me something stopped working, but emails from people might not be that important because I get hundreds a day.
Between the issues with the Gmail web client, and the problems I have with Inbox, the whole "Gmail" product is one of the worst products that I have to use, and I try to distance myself from it with good email clients as much as I can.
