I used to live by gmail but ever since the other companies (e.g. yahoo) let you search your mailbox, gmail has slowly lost its shine.
labels are virtually identical to folders. But you lose the hierarchy, which usually is a killer for folder users.
homepage of google has weather and news too, what's you're point?
yahoo is cooler, but you said you have a y7mail account.. that looks like a hack.
interface is slow and bloated IMO. I like the simple gmail interface. yahoo's ad ridden slow ajax is what killed it for me. But even so, gmail's interface isn't for everyone.
And yes, gmail's contact method of adding everyone is utterly retarded.
Own domain+google for your domain ftw =P I don't use it though because everything is already tied to my gmail account.. namely maps (addresses in there) and google checkout (won't let me move a credit card to another account) and reader, iGoogle... etc.
