Is Fastmail still worth it?


After changing their plans in Jan 2020 (and actually failing to realize the new plans [1]), I'm wondering if Fastmail is still worth it?

[1]: Many users were updated into Standard Plan from their previous plan on Jan 01, 2020 for a fee which was justified by not changing prices since 10 years. The help is still dragging behind the changing features right now which seem to not be 100% there, yet. In combination with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19242698 it makes me wonder...

I think so, and if I read my upgraded plan properly, it's just over $100 for 3 years? I like their sieve implementation, I like being able to host my own domain there, and in the decade(?) or more that I've been a member, I have never had an email issue.

It would be nice if I could automate uploads of my sieve rules, but it's not that big a problem right now.
