It only became popular because of marketing. Yahoo! Mail is slightly better, and has nice integration with the rest of Yahoo!'s services, but it has needed threading for a long time now. Also, I bridled at the fact when some of its earlier free services became pay ones. I truly think Gmail is the best free webmail service, but it might not be able to withstand the critics, who seem unusually loud ... where were they when Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail asked for their personal information to open an account? Hotmail has always been a joke, interface-wise and service-wise. It only became popular because of marketing. Yahoo!

I'm just bummed I didn't get in one the beta. I'd definitely switch from Hotmail. I don’t think Gmail is evil. I’m just bummed I didn’t get in one the beta. I’d definitely switch from Hotmail.
