How can I get bundles in Gmail? Am I missing something?

Settings -> Inbox -> Categories is analogous, although IMO the UI isn't as nice. I also don't know if that lets you do custom bundles, although that's a feature I never used in Inbox.

Edit: and the gmail version of bundles has fewer categories than Inbox does

Sorry, not even close. Categories is just automatic folders, every email client has had folders for decades.

Is there a difference, other than bundles are inline with your other emails and categories are accessed in separate tabs?

You cannot create custom categories, you're limited to the 5 options Gmail provides you.

You can't archive all in one swipe.

I for example have all promo emails "queue" up whenever they come in and show up at 9am every day.

I have all "low priority" emails show up at 5pm when I'm winding down my workday to deal with them.

That's the kind of thing I'm going to miss the most.
