Gmail's web client is what I normally use, and have never had an issue with
it.

For work I use outlook and I often do in-line replies as well. That's
usually combined with a top post reply saying "see inline" since top
posting is the convention everyone uses at work. I can also tell you it's
much more difficult to go back through a long thread of emails when you
have to read everything from the bottom up.

I also wanted to address a few comments people have made around being told
to top post. I've seen my fair share of snark on this board. Not once have
I ever seen anyone make a big deal out of someone top posting. I don't even
recall a time when someone replied JUST to tell them not to top post. I've
only seen it presented as a gentle reminder as part of a reply on the
actual topic.
