I've worked with tons of clients that have "successfully used GoDaddy for years" while they are paying far more for a domain that nearly any other registrar, they are forced to pay for a basic SSL certificate that is free anywhere else, they are tricked into buying services that that don't need and literally makes things worse and more difficult.
But ask someone who actually knows webdev and web hosting and you'll hear all about the issues that are there in plain sight.
GoDaddy very simply preys on people who don't know any better.
