But it's clear that Google has a history of building products with RSS and killing the RSS support once it's established a user base.

Not only RSS. It was the same with XMPP, and probably other things I don't remember now. Better don't rely on Google products.

The biggest and most obvious encroachment on standard email that Gmail does is opting for a tag system over a folder system. It is superior, but nonstandard. If you rely on this, it's Gmail vendor lock-in for you.
