I use ESRI's maps in my applications with great success. I even use them

The POI is not nearly as populated as Google's, but they are leaps and
bounds ahead of everybody else.
ESRI's flex API is pretty good (our bread & butter GIS apps are all based on it
but these are all tied to client's big buck arcGIS servers) but their public
spatial data is nowhere near google's, especially larger scaled data in urban
areas. ESRI's coarser data also effects other functionality like elevation
profile & routing.
google dropping flex was a crying shame.
