I still use Outlook (2013). My concerns with Gmail were similar to Bott's.
Plus Outlook.com now supports IMAP.

Mostly the thing with Gmail is that while it works well, it has some arcane
features with respect to keeping your mail organized that were annoying. It
was becoming an increasing bother to delete mail from folders, then have to
find it and delete it in deleted mail and then again in All Mail.  

Outlook.com works very well with Outlook 2013. The principle advantage it my
mail is synched on all machines on which I view it and with the Outlook.com
/ Outlook connection, keeping things tidy and organized is just easier.

One last thing: While I'm not crazy about privacy, it seems clear that the
price you pay for google is allowing them to snoop.

===========
I recently migrated from Gmail to Outlook.com using Windows Live Mail as an
intermediary. I will caution it was painstaking moving the mail, but overall
the process worked well.

A longtime Outlook user, your post was interesting to me as I personally
experience far more people moving the other way (Outlook to Gmail).

I'd love to have your personal reflections on the motivation for your move.
