It does sound a little too personal, but convenient in it's own way, Some of the new features sound good. I just wouldn't want it as an email.  
 
I hope they are not ending the @gmail.com domain name, and it still is easy to find and open e-mail, so I still can quickly find forum membership e-mail, so I can click on those annoying "e-mail vertification" links when I join forums, blogs, social networks, and websites, so I can use the site.

Most domain registrars like GoDaddy, 1and1, and Namecheap gives you an e-mail account, e-mail website and some storage for e-mail when you register a domain name with them, and you can use your domain name as your e-mail address's domain name like @example.com.

I think this is not really a big deal if you already use a e-mail mail client to check your webmail like gmail and yahoo like Windows Live Mail, Microsoft Office's Outlook and Outlook Express, Windows Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird which let you download your e-mail from sites like gmail, yahoo, and your ISP, so you can use e-mail clients to reply, and organize your mail. Hopefully, gmail does not stop support for connecting your webmail account to an e-mail client like Windows Live mail or Mozilla Thunderbird.
 
I see people buying Google Inbox app invites on eBay for a few cents, so if you have a lot of Inbox invites from Google, you can probably make a few dollars from selling hundreds of invites.

Wow, this is pretty shocking. What will happen to all the Gmail accounts? Or are they just changing the domain name from gmail.com to inbox.com?
I think Inbox is just currently an App. The inbox.com domain name is not owned by Google, Inbox is owned by Xacti Group Companies. 

If Google tried to buy inbox.com, Google would probably have to pay many millions to billions of dollars for inbox.com since it is a short and catchy domain name. Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and Yahoo would most likely try to buy inbox.com if inbox.com goes on sale.

If you use  MS Office's Outlook, Windows Mail client in Windows 8.1, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, and other e-mail clients for Windows, Linux, and Mac, and other operating systems, Inbox would not affect you unless Gmail stops support for third party e-mail clients like how social messaging sites like WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc are disabling support for third party messaging clients for their services.
