When custom TLDs were announced I was kinda skeptical about the whole thing, thought it was just an ICANN money-grab... and that it was a bad idea from a technical perspective because it broke the nice hierarchical organization we had before.

Now that quite a few of those TLDs are launched or ready to launch they really grew on me, and I feel like they allow for some really interesting looking names. Also, the hierarchy was never consistent or used properly in the first place, so it's good that we're honest about it and just make a "flat" organization.
