It's nice. I just hope the email monetization features -- Social, Promos, Purchase Intent, Ads, Buy Stuff Now -- aren't as prominent as in Inbox.

Of course, they used to let us disable them (in the desktop site). Now they're a key feature. That's progress, I guess.

They are not mandatory in the new Gmail app. I have been using a build of 5.0 for the last few days, and it provides a normal inbox as all previous versions.
