It took me about a year to move to my own domain, but it was a great opportunity to clean up 20 years worth of unused accounts, so a net positive I think.

I’ve kept my @gmail address as a backup, though I only check it about once a week now. Plus, I’m free to use it for any new random accounts I don't really care.

I actually had a very similar experience!

I could modify my email address in all my important accounts, and over the years a few have prevented me from doing it (butif they don't let you change your email address, it's generally not a good service). Which is okay, because my password manager remembers which ones those are :-).
