After using the Google implementation for a while now, I am finding that I prefer it to Mailplane's. My primary objection was that initially it did not seem that the add a label dialog came into view, but I see now that it does, AND it allows one to create new labels on the fly. The main criticism remains that its search of label titles is not as good as Mailplane's.
