Turn Off Importance Markers in Gmail if You're Not Using Priority Inbox [Gmail]

Gmail's Priority Inbox feature has been around for a while, and if you're like me, you may have given it the old college try. If you're even more like me, you've found that Gmail's about as good at recognizing important emails as?well, as you might expect a context-ignorant computer would be. Today, I realized it's about time I turn off those importance markers and get rid of all that unnecessarily added visual clutter.

It's simple enough to do. Just point your browser to Settings > Inbox and click the No markers radio box followed by the Save Changes button. Done. It's an especially helpful tweak if you're already using stars, since the importance marker is both the same color and nearly the same visual weight as stars.

On that note, I'm curious how many of you are using Priority Inbox and the importance markers. Weigh in in the poll below, and let's hear more details regarding how well it works for you (or not) in the comments.
