Gmail web clients are
simply awful from a usability standpoint (in my view) so that's not a
solution, as much as I wish it would be. I would love to kick the
dedicated client out, but alas the web based clients are just not there for
business use yet.

I don't know what other "Gmail web clients" there are besides the
official Gmail browser-based client from Google. But I love that one.
I'm using it right now. I can understand how people could find it
"unusable" but it's kind of like the difference between a conventional
bike and a recumbent bike. If you're comfortable with a conventional
bike and have always used one, the recumbent looks and feels
ridiculous. But if you get used to the recumbent, it can make the
conventional seem awkward and inefficient.

The Gmail browser interface does force you to think differently (do
everything with tags and search, no real "sorting" to speak of). And
to be fair, I do like Outlook for business use. For me, Outlook's big
advantage is that it has pretty strong integration between e-mail and
the calendar. It's definitely an essential part of our company's
infrastructure.
