Every time I've thought about moving away from Namecheap to something else I've remembered those once in a blue moon times I've actually needed to reach out to support for mission critical type of events. The support I've received has been absolutely stellar. Above and beyond what I would have expected to be their scope of service. I don't know any other providers I hold as highly in support, especially anything coming from a tech company.
My main gripe is that I wish they would include free SSL and they give their UI some love but that's minor as I only access it on certain occasions.
I dislike Namecheap for a few reasons. They don't let you log in with a _valid_ username and password if you are using a VPN. Their UI is pretty bad, too. If you have an adblocker, you don't see "Submit" buttons on a lot of forms (editing WHOIS information, etc.)... lots of small annoyances with their service.
Submit button problem sounds solvable if people keep bugging the support.
It's 1 day job, probably button image or form URL includes 'ad' or something.

I've been a customer of hover for a couple of years now. I've transferred as many of my GoDaddy domains to it as I could without affecting any running services (email mostly). And now I have 35 domains on hover. I'm happy to pay the increased price just because the UI doesn't change.
Granted, I've never needed to call support, but losing my domain would be a huge disaster with no website, no email, and cost me hours of time. I see no reason to risk anything to save $5 a year
