Users appreciate the extension for its ability to reduce Chrome's RAM usage, provide a quick and resizable panel for Gmail, and function reliably. Popular features include easy access to compose and reply, and flexibility in panel display. Common issues include lack of new mail alerts or unread counts, inability to click links inside emails, and no support for multiple panels open at once.
