Gmail makeover comes to Android

I've stopped using the Gmail app. The massive Samsung app doesn't show any ads, which is great.
 
It also uses Google’s newest fonts, and provides a “brighter and more spacious” viewing experience.
I don't like this trend toward excessive padding and space - I want as much stuff on the screen as possible.
 
And yet they killed off Inbox...for this ****.
Updated, chose compact view.
Don't like it much.

1.) Could be even more compact
2.) More contrast between emails - just a wall of indistinguishable text right now.

Oh FFS... they should just release Inbox as an OS product so someone can keep it going... its so much better than GMail...
 
That is horrendous.
And here's the comfortable view.

Not sure why they removed the feint lines between emails - made it much easier to tell them apart. Would also prefer a slightly grey background - this page full of #ffffff doesn't work for me. Too much padding in this view but I probably prefer it to compact view.

I cant seem to be able to delete emails from the Gmail notification bar, while the default samsung email app allows that.
