> why would you force users to write emails in a small window in the bottom right corner

Seconded. It's actually very painful to write on the bottom right corner; also at times pasting large amount of text in to the box screws its interface. When you've some formatting on the text pasted there, something goes crazy.

I recently quit accessing my primary Gmail account and this is one of the main reasons for it.

Other being the amount of spam that started coming in, in the name of notifications, deals and whatever "my friend has unlocked...".

I also found Gmail forcing a lot of G+ around the header of my inbox, and tonnes of services that I have never opened or would not be interested in. Unable to switch those off.

That said, I do find this label-tab option interesting. Will definitely give it a go.
