I live by the advice that best tools are the ones that are available, so for that reason I love to use Google products with few modifications so the same tools/data are accessible on multiple platforms.
I only regularly use a few other things that are either specific to my job or are needed to fill gaps in Google’s product line for core use cases I have, like Pocket and Feedly, and even those I’m constantly checking to see if I could get away with not using them.
Thus my task list, documents, calendar, etc. are all in Google.
I guess I worry about google having all my data—I’d like to build a sustainable ecosystem which I’m paying for with money rather than an ability to predict my future actions.

I agree that low friction is really valuable.
