Why ISP mail?

Who oh why do people still insist on using ISP mail, when there are so many superior options available? And what about if you ever decide to switch providers again, or move to an area where Verizon isn't available?

Gmail catches 99.99% of my spam, and I've heard that Hotmail and Yahoo! are getting better all the time. And best of all, one can use any of these services from any computer on any ISP in the world.

I was reviewing Verizon's spam filter. Up until March '07, I didn't get junk mail there. I have never received spam on my own domain email, which suffices for my "permanent" address.

Gmail catches 99.99% of my spam, and I've heard that Hotmail and Yahoo! are getting better all the time.
And I've heard that Gmail caches 100% of your email up to some multi-gigabyte limit. Google is now far too big for me to give it carte blanche on things like that.

Everyone has preferences, just not all the same. But, thanks for the input.
