Long-term (in bitcoin terms at least) vircurex trader, just never felt the need to post here until now.

Why vircurex? I like the clean interface. The fees aren't too high (0.2%). There's no distracting trollbox (this is a plus!). Trading engine seems solid, no weird scary delays when submitting orders. I can cancel my trades from the same window I create them from (I'm looking at you bter & bitstamp). You get e-mails on successful trades. Withdrawals are quick and painless, 'though there's a fee. Lastly you earn interest on your deposits .. although that's a bit meh.

Downsides? Low volume, OK for alts. They have been hacked in the past and graciously passed the loss on to their investors .. ahem. The main admin "Kumala" is anonymous, which I always find a bit creepy with an exchange. The site doesn't seem to get much extra web-dev love and attention, some new little tweaks would be nice.

mtgox - solid, great volume, ok interface, never tried extracting fiat from it so feel no need to join the great crowd of 'gox whingers.
bitstamp - as above, but prefer the interface
bter - I've seen chinese characters in the interface, also the bar on the left and the trade history don't update properly which is just annoying. Good for crazy alts.

I was a fan of Bitcoin-central before it got hacked and the guy paid everyone back and took the whole thing offline, now he's redeveloped it but the AML/KYC authorisation is a bit over the top. In a way that's a good thing (exchanges should be legit until someone works out how to do a P2P exchange)

btce - scary anonymous Russians (or are they bulgarians?), trollbox .. gah!
cryptsy - whole heap of issues at the mo'

Currently I'm using Bitstamp, although I'm not a very big fan of their fee-model. Still imho one of the most reliable, secure and professional exchanges.

Started using vircurex. Although its less-than-professional layout put me off at first, I'm satisfied with their service
