It's nice to see someone else have this point of view. I have a personal domain but still run @gmail.com because I get the impression that having my own domain makes me look like a complete nerd to my friends.
Of course, I am, but no need to reinforce that.
- benhurmarcel 6y agoI have the same sentiment, but I think using other appropriately-named providers has the same effect. Nobody bats an eye when you say @fastmail.com or @mailbox.org for example.

- judge2020 6y agoThere are other reasons to keep your @gmail, such as being a precaution in case you lose your domain as well as to use it for into your DNS/registrar account since using your domain's email to manage the DNS or domain itself is a bad idea in case DNS breaks email deliverability.
