Yes, but, among other things, as others have already pointed out, when you 
crank open a Facebook tab or app, you're now in a street fair full of 
people yelling out their windows about other stuff, hard to tune out. 
Email, it's pretty quiet, and you get to chose what to look at/read, and 
can delete stuff.

Also, for many posts, one wants to be able to easily respond to just one 
or two people, as part of a conversation that wants to get filed within 
email (clients, projects, topics, etc). Or fwded some of (sans name and 
sensitive stuff) to non-listers, etc. I haven't used Facebook enough to 
know whether this is easy to do there.

And while there may be ads in my email messages, there's no ads in the 
client, nor stuff that might go all blinkenlight on me or otherwise clamor 
for my distraction.
