Advantages: Cheap and fairly reliable

Disadvantages: Hidden costs

I have travelled a couple of times with Ryanair and had no problems. Flights never overly late, acceptable I would say. Purchasing items on board is expensive but it's not obligatory. The start of Ryanair Rip-Off has put them right down in my estimation. The latest con is charging for on-line check in (the only check in that will be available). So, once you have paid for a flight, you have to pay more just to use it. I see on their web site they are trying to pull the wool over folks eyes saying they are doing away with the airport check in and accordingly removing the £10 airport check in fee and introducing a £5 online check in fee per person per flight. Of course they fail to mention that what they are actually doing is putting the free online check in up to £5 per person per flight. So, if I fly with Ryanair on a simple return flight it already will cost me a total of £19.50 just to pay them and do my own check in.

Summary: What you would expect from a budget airline!

I have flown Ryanair many times and my slogan is "if you pay bus fare, you can expect a bus service". I like them a lot but their additional fees are not really justifiable any more. Especially the credit card handling fee applied per TICKET and not per transaction....

Like you I've flown with them a couple of times and no problems, but if anything does go wrong I'm told they're very unhelpful. Also, as you say, they're becoming very grasping about extras.
