(Evolution has something similar, but also still has folders.)
Because with folders the messages are just *there*. No need to
click this, click that, search this, search that.
Here's a link to a screenshot of my nested folders and threaded
email. It's Icedove, but Evo, Sylpheed & KMail, Iceape etc would
all look essentially the same. Outlook would, too, if it knew how
to thread (or I could figure out how to turn it on).

If gmail can do that, then *please* send me a screenshot!
