I use labels aggressively, but I monitor the numbers next to the labels to see if I have stuff coming in rapidly. When I tried the new GMail interface, it hid a bunch of important labels, requiring me to hover over that section to check if I was getting emails from particular projects and groups of people. That broke my email workflow, so I had to switch back to the old interface.

Hopefully, the comments I sent to the GMail team didn't fall on deaf ears - I really don't want to rework how I do email.

It must be tough working on a product that is so core to people's life and work. The changes in XCode never sit well with me either.

You can drag and drop labels out of the "More" box into the main view. I don't know if there's a limit to how many labels you can do that with though.
