Android mail vs. Gmail app - which do you use and why?

[Participant]

As above, I'm currently getting notifications from both and am looking to get rid of the weaker, but I haven't figured out which that is yet.

Is it generally the case that people with Gmail only, use the Gmail app, and people with multiple accounts use the Android app? Which is better and why?

Oops, sorry. Can a mod please move to Mobiles.

I use Gmail for Gmail and the Mail app for my Exchange account.

But why? Why not just use the mail app for everything then, it's all in one place?
