Downside is that you need a gmail account.
Which you have already, if you have an Android phone.
One does *not* need a *gmail* account. A *Google account* will do. (Mine is: harriebaken@tekstbaken.nl.)
I have a number of my own domains. When I got the phone I tried setting that up with google (as opposed to Samsung, who were quite happy to accept various "@antonaylward.com" addresses). Google took the "proper name" ("Anton Aylward"), donwshifted the "A" to "a", inserted a period and appended a "@gmail.com" and there was nothing I could do about it. Nothing, I tell, you, NOTHING! I didn't like it, I fought it. But I was stuck with it. The crazy thing is that I already had TWO other addresses that I use with G+! Both of those use domains I own. I'm still struggling to find out if I can use either of those with hangouts. So far, hangouts insists on me using the "@gmail.com" address.
So it seems an issue of one "evil empire" vs another :-)

Indeed. + Apple crooks. So let's make Linux great & big!
Err, perhaps you should look at which firms make the greatest contribution to the Linux code base.
