I second this. I love namecheap, not quite the cheapest registrar anymore, but I have found them much more helpful than GoDaddy or any other registrar I've used.

I just finished moving all my domains to them last week with their newest promotion, like $6 transfers or something.

Ditto. I just finished moving everything off of godaddy recently. Another thing I like about namecheap is that they provide you with nameservers, which was a big plus for me since I didn't want to host my own on the same box I put everything else on. Pretty sure godaddy didn't, but I could be wrong.

Godaddy does provide its own nameservers - been using it for years.

Thirded. They're also one of the few registrars to tell you explicitly that "you own the domain in your name." Their free private registration offer is a nice touch, and their control panel is pretty solid and thorough.
