 From my perspective that's a benefit, but I can see why you might  
prefer an alternate system.

Personally I never really delete my email -- I create transient copies  
that go into task-specific folders, which are then deleted immediately  
when the related task is complete, and keep a master copy archived  
separately. In a label-based system I would never use the delete  
function at all, I would just add and remove labels in addition to the  
omnipresent "archive" label; I could create essentially exactly the  
same workflow under either system.

Depending on your work habits and preferences, and the available mail  
clients, I can see why either system might be useful. But at least for  
me, the models are essentially indifferent views of the same data,  
other than in whether you call the operations "copy/delete" or "label/ 
unlabel".
