Actually it's the other way round. Gmail only has labels. It doesn't have folders, but in most cases labels can be treated as folders.
It certainly behaves like it does. I can make folders in Gmail using Evolution, and they appear like folders on the web interface. I thought I'd also done it the other way around in the past, but I can't remember.
To be honest, a lot of email clients don't actually make folders (well not in the way we think of them). Everything is stored inside the mail root, but there's an index file that determines where everything fits into your interface.
