I use Gmail. I've never had any issues with it. Before that I used a pay service, Mail2World, only because they let me have an email @mail2linux.com. Before that it was my university email. I don't remember what it was before college.

I would guess it's because they haven't come to a conclusion about a business model for GMail.

I think it's stable enough. In fact I think the GMail service is one of the best available. If it was out of beta and a commercial service then I think 'd be more comfortable with it. But as I posted earlier, I've seen an acquaintance lose all his GMail, Adsense, Adwords and all of his pics on picasaweb. Too risky for me!
