This has been my experience, too, on well over 100 Ryanair flights.

On one of my frequently-flown routes I have a choice between Ryanair and easyJet and almost always choose Ryanair.

The main reasons for this preference are: (i) price; (ii) punctuality (I went through a bad patch with easyJet a year or two ago during which the same Friday evening flight was always late, meaning that I could not get to a supermarket at my destination to buy things I needed to make breakfast the following morning); (iii) the boarding process; and (iv) cabin crew (I prefer the Spanish-based Ryanair cabin crew on the routes I use most frequently).

My only complaint about Ryanair is that sometimes I am away from my main home longer than 15 days which makes the printing of boarding passes problematic as I do not have a computer or printer at my destination. (EasyJet allows passes to be printed 60 days in advance of travel.)
