I too use fastmail (though I moved from my own setup, not from gmail).
Some nice things they have:
* Proper IMAP and SIEVE support.
* CalDAV, CardDAV.
* The UI is keyboard-only usable.
* The support team is really responsive (they actually added a shortcut for an option that was lacking one within a few days of my request!).
* They give back a lot to the FLOSS community, which I really value (but their webmail is mostly proprietary).
Their usage of actually standards (instead of just their own) is a great thing! I still use mutt for gpg email, and khal for calendaring, which is pretty good.
They also host your XMPP server, if you're an XMPP user.
I've been meaning to post a thorough review, but haven't had the time to polish it. I'll post it in HN once I have it, since I'm sure many will be interested.
