I'm not the parent poster, but I feel similarly about Facebook so I'll take a shot at answering.
Bottom line is that I already use Gmail and a fair number of other Google services. I don't use Facebook at all.
It's not so much about trusting Google over Facebook, but rather an unwillingness to share my personal info with yet another company...and Google beat Facebook to the punch. If Facebook had offered a comparable set of services and had offered them first, the roles would be reversed.
That said, I've been looking at ways I can divorce myself from Google because I trust them about as far as I could throw Larry Page.
