I own and use a lot of Bosch cordless tools with zero issue's with any of them for the past 11 years. The main reason is years of using their corded barrel grip jig saw, Their cordless jig saw is a bout the same size especially the 12v version so that pretty much dictated what brand of cordless tools I use.
The only negative they have imo is they don't have as many tools as other brands but I am fine with that and it hasn't affected any of my productivity doing projects.

I too own a lot of their cordless tools and have had no issues at all. Have been using Bosch for nearly 20 years and love the reliability/durability. As JBB mentioned above they dont have as many different tools as other brands so I remedy that by buying 12v Milwaukee as needed.
My main cordless platform is 18v Bosch and it all began with that drill you mention in the OP. I'm very pleased with all of them. I do sometimes wish they offered more in cordless but I'm not switching platforms. Cords don't bother me the way they bother the younger folks.

Bosch are solid reliable tools. I am still using a first gen 10.8 volt marked driver, and also a right angle driver, both from 2006 or so. They then decided to mark them as 12 volt for advertising/misleading. The 10.8 volt hex driver i have is swiss made too. I love the Bosch 10.8/12 volt line of tools.
Bosch is my main platform. I like the batteries better than Milwaukee. I feel like they are smaller. The core 18v batteries are very nice. I also like Bosch 12v. When my house is done, I may collapse on a single platform, likely whatever I choose for a tracksaw.

Yes, I use the 18v platform and I wish they had more variety. The 6.5" circular saw is awesome (buy the good one with the vacuum port). I do like the innovation in impact wrenches. I've been eyeing that 330 impact with programmable torque. Torque Test Channel said they found it was almost as accurate as a cheap torque wrench. Not that I'm going to skip the torque wrench. But it would be handy for someone doing repetitive tasks like putting on car wheels. Set it to 80ft-lb, then use it to quickly tighten the lug nuts, then use a quality torque wrench to do the last bit.

The 12V tools (drill and impact) really shine as well. I like Bosch a lot.
