Well yes I do, whether you believe me or not (most days I go cycling and make extensive use of it in that context, other days I drive where I also use it). I also compose 95% of my text messages using voice recognition, which admittedly is not Siri - but is the part of Siri that tends to get mocked. On a decent length message I typically have to make one or at most two corrections.
As far as GMail is concerned, apart from the awful UI, and Google's propensity for changing it at a whim, my main concerns are its ability to send emails into a black hole. Quite often I send emails, they do not get delivered, I get no bounced error, and the recipient doesn't either (and it's not in spam). In fact I have about 4 people/organisations I deal with where this happens every time and I no longer use GMail to communicate with them, but use my Apple email.
Other times and this can be to any recipient, emails just get delayed by anything up to 24 hours. I don't get any of these problems with other email providers I use.
The only reason I stick with GMail is because I am locked into the Google ecosystem because I use Android and many other Googly things.
