This campaign is ridiculous. People don't want to run their own mail server, because Google can do it better. They understand and are willing to sacrifice ownership of their data for the convenience of letting Google manage it. Given this, the difference between using their javascript frontend and an open source mail client is so minimal in comparison I don't even see the point. Gmail's frontend is also much better than Thunderbird or any OSS client's I've ever used.
