Just wanted to echo the thoughts of mtkd. I have my own personal domain mostly because I want to maintain control of my own email address. I connected it to Google Apps (and am willing to pay for this feature), because Gmail is great.
But when Google rolls out a new service which doesn't have Apps support (which they do all the time), it's pretty frustrating. The irony is that if I didn't use Apps, and instead hosted my domain myself, I'd have better compatibility with Google products than when I do. Frustrating as hell, especially if you're paying for it.
I understand that they're stuck between vanity users (like me) and enterprise users, but these problems should be thought about more structurally and addressed beforehand.
