True in sorts. The best email system I've used so far is Gmail. Which is strange, it being browser-based. Every single shortcoming for the browser UI, however, is made up for by Google's excellent search system. Eye candy can't compete with good old functionality :). That's also why I am totally not interested in pimping Squeak's UI, for example.
Still - some nice and potentially more widely applicable gestures though.
And: the way how to use computers will change. There will be come an age where we don't use a mouse or a keyboard at all for standard tasks. So playing such "games" may be necessary to find promising new ways.
