I think for many people (myself included) the Gmail novelty has really worn off. Of course, this is due in part to the quota increases that have reached across the industry and as a result have turned the game back into a competion on features, a place where Gmail is still far behind. But most of all it's probably due to the privacy concerns over Google's content filtering and activity monitoring.
I know that all services compromise your personal data to some extent, but each of us has a line that we draw, and I think for many Gmail has crossed that line.
