Some people prefer standalone clients, 'cause programs can be more user friendly than a website when there's so many tasks that can be done on a site like Gmail. When I would use Hotmail, I used Windows Live Mail, and it made reading and sending mail a lot easier. Gmail is more optimal than Hotmail.com, but still, some might prefer Gmail. Also, you'd be able to check your past e-mails when your Internet is down.
