It beats Thunderbird and Mail.app hands down. If you don't look at the right hand side you won't see the ads. :) I even have it set up now to pull my pop mail account and slap it in a filter. Plus I enjoy all the people complaining about how users shouldn't change the subject. The gmail thread grouping takes care of all that for me. :D The only real downside is you can't view the raw source of messages or get the headers. As Nathan said, the spam filter is really good too.
