I've been using it for several months now. I really like it. It's fast, and reliable. I made the move, and haven't (really) looked back.
The spam filtering isn't as good though. I've had a few false positives and false negatives. I don't get much spam, so it's not hard to have a quick look in the spam folder. Wish I didn't have to do this though.
I like paying for the product. It's nice to know my emails aren't being scanned to build up a profile on me. It's nice to know that I am a customer (of the traditional kind). I haven't had to use support yet, but it's there. Unlike Gmail.
I originally moved because I grew uneasy with the amount of information I had with Google. Now, I have none. A small win for me, but Google doesn't care. Ultimately, make the decision on the whole "best tool for the job" argument.
