I avoid using google wherever possible. Forget all the hate they get. Their customer service sucks making it harder to recommend any of their product. Then there is the fact that they will just kill the product any time.

If you are going to use google products, stick to dinosaur products like android, gmail etc. DO NOT EVER INVEST IN A NEW GOOGLE PRODUCT. It is just a matter of time before it disappears.

This has become a joke. The last project I had hold my breath for was Project Ara. And I don't plan to do that again.

The customer service is a potential killer for me. For a while, I was relying on Gmail. Then started seeing the horror stories of people losing their accounts with almost no recourse of getting them back.

I realize the false-positive bans are probably just 1 in a million but that's still too big of a risk for something crucial like my main email. Moved everything to a personal domain.

I really hope they don't kill Firebase, I love it so much for small pet projects...
