#2Actually, what surprises me is that SO would be registered with them in the first place.

#3Why did anyone ever use GoDaddy in the first place?
There are much better options out there. Dynadot, Moniker, Gandi, ... the list is endless.

Gandi locks my Chase credit card each time I pay them. Using (ugh) PayPal is the only way I can use them.

Price ($1.xx .coms occasionally) pulls you in, inertia keeps you there. If all you do is use them as a registrar, you'll probably never have a problem, so no reason to reconsider. Plus, it's the biggest registrar, trust in numbers.

#6I started moving away from GoDaddy recently. I'm sick of the up-selling when buying domains. I know it's how they make their money but I now use Hover and it is much quicker and simpler to purchase domains.
I was also getting tired of GoDaddy's constant domain management changes. Every time I go there they have a new UI. Again Hover is A LOT simpler.
I still haven't moved everything off but I am gradually doing it. And all my new domains are with Hover.

The only time American Express has called me has been twice on my Gandi payment. Makes you wonder about their fraud algorithms. Surely Amex can see I make the same payment every year, or maybe that is the mark of a patient and not greedy fraud.
FWIW I haven't had any troubles in the last few years.

My bank used to lock my Visa card every month when my landlord charged my rent. Same day every month, same company every month, same amount every month. Every 5th of the month I'd have to call my bank and confirm that the charges weren't fraudulent to get it unlocked, or I'd end up at a grocery store unable to pay my bill.
I put up with it because I was earning a ton of cash back having my rent charged to a rewards card.

#9Wow...this is like hearing that Github plans to quit Dreamweaver because it was feuding with Adobe.

#10Wow... SO is still with GoDaddy? GoDaddy's position on SOPA has been clear since October; what took them so long?
