I don't know anything about Mail.app, but as far as GMail I find it quite hostile UI-wise. Like many Google UIs, I might add (don't get me started on Google Groups :-/). I find it interesting that you are so disturbed by threaded discussion views, while for some other people it's the reverse. That advocates for a system that allows both kinds of presentation, and Discourse isn't that. As a side note, a similar debate was held about filesystem hierarchies in the 2000s. Some UI designers felt that tree-shaped hierarchies were too complicated for most people, and started talking about replacing them with elaborate task-driven views. At the end, some of the underlying technologies were kept (such as indexing and fast content-based search), but filesystem hierarchies are still the primary way of organizing user data on desktop / laptop computer systems.
