How many people don't experience problems sending to gmail? Do you think blog posts criticizing and praising gmail deliverability are in equal proportion to users' experiences?

I'd be surprised if there are any self-hosters who never had any of their emails ending up in Gmail's spam folder.
Disclosure: I've been self-hosting for 5 years.

I don't really care about how many people it is, I primarily care they are fucking up my mail, with absolutely zero recourse or transparency whatsoever, just a total black hole.
Until recently, I didn't think I have a problem with GMail spam filtering.
Then I looked at what was in my Spam folder. I haven't looked into it for a long time before, because, well, Google has trained me that their spam filtering "just works".
I now try to check it at least once a week. The amount of false positives was staggering, and some of it was important.
