Push notifications and the badge icon are two different things. If you do not have an older device that was grandfathered into gmail's exchange service than you cannot get push notifications to the Apple mail app. Personally, I use the gmail app to receive push notifications and have the regular mail app set up as manual fetch.
According to his first post, the only issue he seems to have with the gmail app is that it "does not open links in Safari." It does though. It initially opens links in an in app browser but has the option to open links in Safari. I assume he either does not know that he can open them in Safari or just prefers that they open immediately in Safari without going through the extra step.

Mailbox is an awesome app, it is integrated with Dropbox so if you use that as well that is a huge plus. The only problem with Mailbox is that it only works with gmail, and I have a Yahoo account I also use and I would like to keep all of the emails in one app so I have settled with Molto, which is nice but I thought mailbox was a little better.
