I've also been using gmail for a couple months now and at first I really didn't like the interface. But after using it for a while I am a convert and totally dig it.

I really like how they thread your email conversations (kinda like nested view in this forum). Anyways I have 50 email invites if anyone is interested (I think everyone has 50).

Go for it and give it a shot, what can it hurt? If you don't like it then don't use it but it you may find yourself a convert.
