Want to see GMail subjects instead of tons of labels? Hide 'em in labs
Thanks to GMail on my iPod Touch I've gotten used to a label-free view of my inbox. The actual subjects of the message I receive are much more important to me than seeing how my filters auto-sort things. Let's face it, by now most of you probably know whose messages get labeled as what.
Don't need the multitude of multicoloralism cluttering your inbox? Head over to the labs page and turn on remove labels from subjects.
If you work on a cramped screen at all (hello, netbook users!) you'll likely welcome the change. Instead of subjects getting shoved rudely aside by multiple labels, you'll actually be able to glimpse what new messages are about before opening them.
Labels are great for sorting things, but I'm glad I can now enable a more minimal look for my inbox.

But isn't that defeating the point of creating labels in the first place?

No, because the messages can still be sorted by their labels. For example, do you really need a visual reminder that an email from your boss has a 'work' label? However if you are looking for that email later on you can still sort by the 'work' label to find it.
It is an optional feature so if you don't like the idea then don't turn it on.

One feature that would be nice is to integrate it with the google toolbar so that one button turns "show labels" on and off.

It's *optional*.
From where I am, I prefer using gmail with more traditional IMAP folders, so I'm happy to ditch labels and put everything into folders as appropriate.

Or you could maybe, you know, use fewer labels and ones that aren't so absurdly long.

But it's not a problem with my 1600x1200 screen! But it's not the 2048x1152 one I'm currently lusting after.
