As a writer of fanfiction, finding a trustworthy place to put your work matters. I am not just talking about an easy user interface (though AO3 does that) I am talking about a place that allows freedom of expression while allowing readers powerful filtering tools to enable them to find what they desire.
Could it be improved? Yes. Of course. But AO3 truly seems to advocate freedom of expression beyond all else, allowing creative people to explore the vagaries of the human condition while permitting the potential audience to put thorough filters in place.
As a writer I appreciate the opportunity to post my fanfic without censorship or administrative restriction. I appreciate having the autonomy to tag and warn to the best of my ability, and create a more fulfilling, universal platform than any other I have encountered.
