I’m a Gsuite, maps and YouTube user. I want to move away from Gsuite and maps but don’t think there are good alternatives.

CityMapper comes close but isn’t there.

FastMail support is worse than Google and has fewer features.

Actually I use Fastmail, and am a big fan. I've never had an issue reaching support. Of course I've rarely had to, the service is pretty reliable.

As for features, I could flip that around on Gmail. Does Google rigidly adhere to imap/carddav/caldav standards so that standards-compliant clients have no problems whatsoever in connecting, or are there still cheerful little "quirks" when trying to use non-official clients with Gmail?

I am weeks into trying to resolve a carddav issue with fastmail. Email support from them is lousy at best.
I use Fastmail and their support has been excellent. I use them now for every new startup attempt.
Yes very responsive.

I've pointed out a number of errors in their FAQs, some technical and some spelling and grammar related.

They have always acknowledged the issue.

3 months later, the issues still remain. Oh well.

Yeah. Some companies seem to think this stuff isn't important.

It really is, when first looking through a website to see if they have their stuff together.
