I like .mac since it makes doing webpages mind numbingly simple. Build it in iWeb and push a button and voila! Instant web site! Yes, there are cheaper places to buy web space/storage ... but one of the major reasons why people buy Macs is for ease of use. .mac's integration with Mac software has that ease of use in bucket loads.
