Why I'm not thrilled about Gmail Priority Inbox at all

As much as I love Gmail, I really don't understand the need for Gmail Priority Inbox, nor do I want to use it at the moment. Here are my 3 main reasons why:

1. I don't get to view my Multiple Inboxes on the same page as this Priority Inbox

2. I really don't need Gmail to tell me who is important and who is not

3. According to the video, Gmail marks my emails as priority (or not) according to these 2 criteria:
  • Emails I tend to read
  • Emails I tend to reply to
Think about it. If I usually read and reply to those emails, why would I need you to tell me again that they're important?
