Not only did GMail offer more storage, but its spam filter was light years ahead of all the competition. IIRC, Hotmail used to publicly publish every Hotmail user that signed up, making it a huge spam target. I had to clean out the spam daily or I wouldn't receive any new email. Moving to GMail was a life changing event.

GMail is my last bit of goodwill towards Google even as they shut down other services I used and paid for. When it goes, so will I.

The spam filter is going downhill now too
