Just the idea of a corporation growing to that size gives me the ickies. It's just one step closer to a corporate town. I'm sure the service is great for now.

Thankfully Amazon hasn't really managed to settle properly where I'm from. They're great for weird niche products, but they're not your go-to for most things.
