Free Gmail has gone down for me twice this year, I guess that's not too bad. Psychologically I compared Rackspace with the paid Gmail version although rationally we can include the free Gmail as well as you pointed. I'm using a Rackspace cloud VPS and I'm happy with it; I'm glad they are moving to other sorts of storage. The proper way of deciding between Gmail and Rakspace Email (I may end up doing this) is to try both with a spare domain name and see how my team and myself like them.
