I prefer it over other lyrics sites just because it's the nicest one that I know of. That being said, I'm don't have an account and never go to the site directly. Just more likely to click on the link from a search.
I like to listen to music that was clearly personal when it was originally written. I use genius a bit, because the only alternative is songmeanings.com, and genius is clearly better, when it has the content I'm looking for.
