What's customizable about these tabs? Don't confuse customizing with correcting Gmail's sorting errors.

At 45 seconds into the video we hear, "you can't rearrange the way they look at the top of your screen". You can't add new tabs, change the order or existing tabs and you can't change the name of the tab. So what of this is customizable?

My email overload problems were solved long ago using OtherInbox.com. These tabs could have provided further organization of my Inbox but instead Google offers a mediocre solution to a problem another company has already fixed.
