The site is best known as it has worked with the National Archives to host the Non-Conformist registers in series RG4 and RG8 which is great if you have non-conformist ancestors.
It's worth bearing in mind that ancestry now also have the non-conformist registers, Fleet marriages and PCC Wills which removes most of their "exclusive" data sets (other than some transcripts).
While they do have digitised and indexed copies of some out of print books, many of them are available to view elsewhere on the web for free and I've never found their viewer for these very easy to use. I also don't like the fact everything is in pdf form because if the image isn't very good, you can't manipulate it very easily.
In light of ancestry now having the three main data sets I use on thegenealogist, I won't be renewing my sub this year either.
