I LOVED Inbox when it first came down, but earlier this week I switched back to gmail.

- I love the snooze and remind me later feature, but I absolutely hate their touchpad/scroll support, I don't understand how mails get automatically marked done when I am just trying to read them.

- The app is super heavy for my 2GB RAM Macbook Air(I have one for lightweight surfing at home), it slows down everything.

- The 3 clicks I have to do in order to read a single mail eventually got to me. Take for instance, imagine if I got a new mail, how many clicks do I have to do in order to read it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y0tyqaualc7dpq7/Screenshot%202015-... Inbox's answer is 2 clicks, one for expanding the 'finance' section and second to open that mail. Isn't my intent obvious when I click on a folder that I wanna read that lone mail when I click on it? After clicking twice for 30 something mails a day, it got annoying.

- Inbox doesn't scan my hangout messages whenever I use its search. I search my hangout messages a lot, that means I return back to gmail. I assume they will add this functionality in future.

- The reply mess. If you are responding to an email, it has a decent inline responding ability, but the moment you stop responding or move away, you can't come back to the inline reply, you HAVE to edit that response outside of that experience. I see no reason why that should be the case.

- My corporate gmail accounts don't support inbox, so it ends up me having a weird experience of constantly using gmail and inbox both
