Labels are different than folders.  Multiple labels can be assigned to
the same message and the label can be colored to your desire, thus
making it easily recognizable when the filter has assigned that label
and it's sitting unread in your Inbox.  Labels are a far more elegant
way of sorting your messages.  Of course you won't agree because you've
never used them to their full extent.  Also I've been a Gmail user
since the days it was invitation only and I'm not switching now.

Now I know you're full of shit!  That has never happened to me.

Not rules which assign labels...

I tried to use Apple Mail but it was cheesy compared to Gmail and I
didn't need to go any farther with it.  Now maybe if I was forced into
a Mac at work I'd have to try the desktop version, but considering even
they think it's a weak option and force everyone to use Outlook 365
that probably won't happen.  Plus I wouldn't be able to get any work
done since Macs aren't of any use for technical work.
