Do you work on large number of tabs at a time? Gmail shows number of new mails or unread mails in tab but if you are on number of tabs then you may miss that and you will no longer able to know how many unread mails are there and If any new mail arrives you may miss it too.

Unread message icon is a nice lab feature which allows you to show number of unread mails with Gmail logo in the tab.See below snapshot :-
