Gmail does a lot of things right but email formats are complex.

Some quick tests...

Gmail handles PGP/Mime signature attachments fine, but doesn't offer to
try and check the signature (sigh).

It doesn't handle inline PGP signatures well.

It displays VCF attachments for download, but doesn't offer to import them!

It displays text in an email after "-- " as greyed out, so it recognizes
it as a signature correctly. Then it fails to offer an option to not
quote this text in replies.

Just don't compare it to a real email client and you won't be
disappointed ;)
