I've actually found FastMail wholly superior to Gmail, HERE Maps refreshingly good at working without a data connection, which is a lifesaver while traveling, and I use Sandstorm.io over Drive, which is capable of a lot more as well.

I started with an attempt to leave Google products for political/moral reasons and ended up finding superior products on the way.

That has been my experience too.

The hardest part about moving away from Google around 4 years ago was migrating all my account email address to new providers.

That basically took me an afternoon. No big deal.

Same (ish) here. I switched to Runbox and also use HERE Maps. Very happy so far.

Note, Here Maps doesn't seem Asia proof yet, just seems to use English everywhere.
