For someone comfortable with legal searches using commands like /p or /25, Lexis Nexis is a better search engine that enables you to search more precisely and narrow down your findings faster. I also find Sheppards more reliable than Westlaw's KeyCite and...

The main problem is that the layout isn't as intuitive and citations that lexis uses aren't as common.

What isn't there to like about it? Any issue you can think of, you can find at a minimum, guidance, but usually it's that and so much more. It's easy to use and has been a huge time saver for me.

Not every subject matter is covered by practice law, for example immigration.
