Knowing first hand google support I will stick to namecheap ...
I once had to transfer a domain for a client that Google had registered with Godaddy. Google blamed Godaddy and Godaddy blamed Google. What a nightmare.
None of Google Domain's features are novel. In fact the article spent most of its time talking about an up-sell. Which isn't to say Google Domain isn't a good product, just that we now should look at price because nothing else seems interesting... ~ Google Domains charges $12/year for .COM, .NET, .ORG. ~ NameCheap charges $10.69/year for .COM, $11.98/year for .NET, and $11.48/year for .ORG. Sometimes with an 18c/year…

Private registration usually costs extra, but not with Google domains. That is a compelling reason to me. I also like the clean interface, some of the other vendors have horrible interfaces.
I've been using this for a few months now and it's been great. The cool thing is that they allow you to solve the problem of having domain emails pointing to your personal emails so for example blahblah@joeblau.com -> josephblaus@gmail.com. The only challenge with this is that I use Cloudflare as my CDN and Google's email redirects work if you use Google's nameservers.
Am I missing something...? I didn't realise this was a problem - I've never used a domain provider that doesn't let you do this. I currently use Namecheap, which certainly do.

I started moving all of my domains back to NameCheap from Badger after they raised their prices to what Hover charges. The domain renewal with whois privacy/guard at NameCheap ends up being a little more than Google Domains. I keep hoping NameCheap will overhaul their control panel design like they did with their main site. I will probably end up moving to AWS Route53 or Google Domains or to use their DNS and a clean…
The dealbreaker for us with NameCheap/eNom is simple: still no DNSSEC. It's been how many years now? And all they say is "we're working on it" and have no ETA. So we moved most things to Gandi. Feels good having no GoDaddy, however.

If you want privacy protection on your whois lookups, then Google would be cheaper than the other providers, as they sell it as an add-on.
I also trust Google to have speedy DNS servers, if you're leaving the defaults in place. GoDaddy's DNS can be quite slow.
Perhaps not a "mind-blowing" product, but one I'd consider using.
