I give less than a rat's ass what you use. But how anyone can get any significant use out of the mass disorganization that is Gmail completely escapes me.
That you say it's some sort of tech industry favorite (while I interact via email with virtually no one who uses it) doesn't surprise me in the least. A big part of my work life the past couple of years has been serving as the "translator" between our main client & their tech sub-contractors, since it's rarely a good idea for the two to be in the same room, the whole Mars vs Venus thing. Luckily I speak just enough of both languages to translate & both sides get considerably less frustrated with me than they do with each other. It may very well be the updated version of how sales & creatives were often kept as far apart as possible in both broadcasting & agency environments.

You're either not getting or not caring about my point. It's not about opinion. You "think" that gmail is for lazy people who can't find something better. The fact is that opinion on experts in email is that it IS a great choice. Particularly for individuals. Businesses should certainly have their own domain, as Alan T has pointed out. But you are FLAT OUT WRONG if you think that people use gmail because they are lazy, unsuccessful or feeble-minded. You can sit there and insult people like the jerk you can be, but you are wrong on this one. I know you'll come back with some comment that you think makes yourself look better than me, or calmer than me, but, surprisingly, you don't know everything and you are capable of being an idiot, and this proves it without question. Your "opinion" is contradictory to the fact that gmail and other hosted services are equal to or superior to in-house services. There are entire school districts, corporations, and governments that had people far more knowledgeable on the subject than you choose to use their services over the other options.
