When Gmail launched on April 1, 2004, there were two big selling points for me - storage and spam.

I can confirm it was amazing.

I got my first gmail address via an invite and it was light-years ahead of everything else.

Nowadays it's possibly worse than most other providers, and it doesn't filter spam as well as it used to. Nowadays I just dislike it.
