Me too. I find it hard to see what all the fuss is about. I like using
gmail for some things, prefer alpine for other things, and a google
application password makes it quite straightforward to switch back and
forth.

The only (mild) complication that I experience is that my primary
gmail account is provided by my university, which insists that I
change password every year, and when I do so it seems my application
password for alpine also expires and has to be renewed. Not really a
big deal.
