a. that it's an important step forward towards a completely
   tag-based e-mail setup

b. that it is implemented with a library, a UI, and clients on top,
   rather than directly as a GUI. ;)

the prospect of tags and fast search, accessible in a way to make
integration with other programs possible.

simplicity and search. Ideally, however, it would be implemented
such that synchronising between different machines were a core
feature.
