Great. I have been waiting for this for months and months, ever since I got my Gmail account. I basically let it fall into disuse after I got a Macbook and started using Mail.app, since my AOL account and my college email both supported IMAP, but Gmail couldn't get in there easily. My account hasn't gotten the IMAP support yet, so I'm still waiting, but now I can finally start to use Gmail regularly again, and have access to that storage and everything that is good about it.
Now, if only I had an iPhone to take full advantage of this :.(
GMail always worked really well with Mail.app... Google even had a little tutorial on how to set it up. I've been using it for years with Mail and it works perfectly.

Gmail supported POP and so does Mail.app, so why did you need to wait for gmail to support IMAP?

Because POP is harder to use, and changes aren't reflected on the multiple machines that I use.
