I'm using Thunderbird for the accounts I care about. I know I could hook into Gmail using IMAP. Just sayin' the Gmail UX for deleting is horrible and Thunderbird existing is no excuse for that.
If you don't care enough about your gmail to bother setting up thunderbird for it, why keeping it at all.
