I am fortunate in that I don't, at the moment, have to worry too much 
about the cost; I think those that do would need a more thoughtful 
reply than this. I too bought at the bargain price after using the free 
service for some months.
I shall renew my membership for an easy, reliable service. I like the 
webmail interface and the way it works, though I don't use it that 
often.
I like the easy posting of photos from iPhoto to the web and to Mail.
I have bought email accounts for a couple of members of my family and I 
like advertising the Mac in my email address (when it suits me:) )
It doesn't do Apple any harm to support this service.

I am aware that I could get all these things more cheaply elsewhere, 
but it suits me to use it and I shall cough up for renewal.
