Migration from Gmail: A Horror Show?

Hello -

I'm considering switching from Gmail to FastMail, a process that involves over nine years of e-mail, three accounts, and my custom domain. I was reading the blog of a user who attempted a similar migration, with unfortunate results:

The user tries to be fair in his assessment; nevertheless, he's understandably frustrated. He ends his review by saying,

Quote:
I really enjoyed the Fastmail interface, and was happy to pay for the service that gives ample storage. I truly want to support services that compete with Gmail’s dominance. . . . I have a lot of respect for FastMail’s developers and they’re doing lots of things well. It just didn’t feel as refined or as solid as I was expecting it, and their support did not give me much confidence at all.

. . .

I still somehow feel more safe with Google than switching to FastMail.
What would you all say? I'd be especially interested in a response from FastMail; how would they account for this person's experiences?

Thanks,
Brian
