(And remember, design isn't only about appearances. Especially in Inbox's early days - before Google's new Lollipop-level Gmail app arrived - it was a refreshing change and one of the aspects I enjoyed most about the experience.
The mobile app in particular is a delight to use. Visually speaking, Inbox is the exemplification of Google's new Material Design: It's clean and modern with big buttons and bold colors. Inbox has a refreshingly modern design and some genuinely compelling elements. It started out as a "WHAT THE HELL?!" reaction and then moved to something more along the lines of: "Oh, I see. As I introduced the app to some less geeky family members - ones who want something that works well but are in no way excited by technology - I saw them experience a similar sort of progression. Once I did that, Inbox became a lot easier to wrap my head around. You really have to start thinking of your inbox as more of a living to-do list than a simple stack of messages.
You clear out the old reminders, swipe away messages you no longer need in front of you, and learn the basics of Bundles, snoozing, and using "done" instead of "archive." I think a proper Inbox experience almost requires you to clean house and start fresh - and then commit to adapting your mindset to match the app's unconventional approach. But you know what? It's easy enough to get acclimated if you take the time to adjust.
