I think Ambleside Online is the best thing since sliced bread! :-) We're only in Year 1, but it fits perfectly for our family, and I can't see us switching to anything else. Our son loves the books, and--what's even better--so do I. I love reading them to him. They are high quality literature.
As far as dislikes, I can see how the sheer volume of what is available through AO could be overwhelming, and it might not be enough structure for some. For me, it's perfect. I don't need or want day-by-day, step-by-step plans. AO provides a weekly list, and I like that.
