It works for me so far, but, I definitely haven't needed reliability. I haven't even been paying close attention to their performance to even know if they've been reliable for me or not - all I know is, it has only happened a few times in the past couple years that my site has been down when I tried to visit it. (I don't visit my own site extraordinarily often, though).

Lots of people consider open source software to be a better option than anything closed source, for reasons too numerous to mention here.
However, this essay by Richard Stallman explains many of them:
