I sent in for an invite. I got an invite. I finally installed it today.
Aaaaand?
So far, so good. It seems to cluster email just as I would like, and it's fairly easy to correct it. The layout is clean, and things behave in a very modern Web fashion. I don't know that I would so far call it revolutionary, but it does seem to add a bit more intelligence to email management than the stock Gmail.
(Someone observed, and I think it's accurate, that Inbox is an mail application, while Gmail is a mail database. Depending on how you like to look at your mail, that's a pretty good description.)
More as I find faboo or fugly things about it.

+Chris Blackmore It organizes them automatically by category, works to surface the most important information in a given email (ie: not just the first line or whatever), and you can do useful stuff like "show me this email again tomorrow so that I can act on it". As Dave points out, it's not trying to be "just fetch your email", it's doing a whole lot more.
+Colm Buckley Yeah, pretty much. The interface is also more in keeping with more modern applications, which doesn't sound important but is remarkably notable for me.
I haven't used the phone app yet, just the web one.
The filter/label stuff is handled differently — to the same effect, but reaching it / seeing it is done differently (and a bit more intuitively).
The interface feels a bit more logical, which makes sense given that GMail's interface is a mare's nest of a decade of incremental additions. So even though it's a bit more complex, it feels more straightforward.
Don’t want the programme to decide what I want.
What I want is the Outlook Express we use at work, which kicks 7 bells out of gmail. From what I’ve read inbox is just a vaguely rider gmail. I really do not understand the love of gmail.
@LH – For me, GMail, as a basic mail reader, is best for how it clusters a thread of messages together.
I’ve used Outlook Express in the past, as well as full-blown Outlook currently at the office, and they’re fine. I also like GMail being cloud-based, and it ability to pull in multiple accounts to a common mailbox.
If I find Inbox is not grouping things the way I want, I’ll drop it and go back to the much more straightforward GMail. At the moment, though, it’s working well.
To be honest, I've found the phone app to be an even bigger step forward, because the "show me this later" functionality is often exactly what I want.
+Colm Buckley Since I most often use the phone mail whlie riding the train to/from work, yeah, that will be handy.
