What meaningful competition was there before? What high quality, amazing service did GMail smash?

Yahoo Mail and Hotmail were terrible then, and they're still mostly terrible now.

I'm not suggesting that there was meaningful competition before - just that there's no meaningful competition now, contrary to the comment I was replying to which asserted that "the competition got serious".
