I had a hotmail and a gmail, and, while I use my gmail the most now, I really prefer hotmail. Gmail is so hard to get around! It took me literally weeks to find my spam and trash folders. Hotmail, on the other hand, seemed overall to be a lot easier. Plus, like Bright Glow said, I end up finding a lot of things that are important to me in my spam inbox, and it's so difficult to change what ends up going to where.
