I've been addicted to IMAP since my university days with Pine. Apple Mail had IMAP support when I first came to OS X, while very few other clients did. I've stuck with it, especially since it comes with the OS. It also supports multiple mail boxes which I relied on early too.
And I like the native UI, how it responds to drag and drop, interaction with the Dock, works with built in OS services, etc.
Also, relatively fast mail searching via Spotlight kept me hooked on mail. I suspect everybody else has caught up now.
AirMail 2 and Mail.app as I have three email accounts.
I cannot decide which one is best, because on one side AirMail is working very well with tags but Mail.app is much more well integrated in the system.
I really like Mailplane. All of the benefits of gmail in the browser (my preferred gmail interface) but wrapped in a native app for things like dock notifications, opening mailto links, etc.

The lack of decent Exchange integration does let it down, but that's fine.
