This is interesting; what benefit/advantage does it have over IMAP-level email management tools like imapfilter[1]?

I don't ask that to be confrontational; I've successfully managed several email inboxes on several different providers for years with plain old IMAP rules, so I'd like to know if there's anything I'm missing.

You offload all the processing to the gmail backend? No compute needed on your part?
