Gmail recently changed something that broke the ability to respond directly to LJ comments from HTML mail, so if you find that valuable, I advise not switching over.
If you click the bottom 'Show quoted text' you have the reply from email option available again. I've never had a problem using it.
I actually find the threading system for LJ comments great. It keeps everything in one place, and because you can just flip through the list and select the comment, everything is much easier to find.
