1) Google-powered search of your email (for those who save all their
email but can never find an old message)
2) A better than average webmail interface (from what I've seen and
heard; I don't have a gmail account myself)
3) It's invitation-only, so it must be desireable
4) It's Google.
#3 and 4 seem to be enough for some people. Personally I prefer mutt,
with as much storage as I want to buy hard drives for, and limits on size
and number of attachments determined by the RFC instead of the provider.
But not everybody can (or wants to) run their own mail server :-)
