Comparison with Google Inbox

To me the comparison is debatable. And it's important to make the distinction because Sparrow was loved by its users and its development simply ceased.

Sparrow captured lightning in a bottle: great features and speed. It could easily be argued that Google Inbox is resource intensive, and the layout is completely different -- it's one flowing column with expanding messages, for example.

I think the comparison should be refined. People who use Sparrow still miss it, and Google Inbox doesn't fill that hole. Prell (talk) 01:23, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
