Bolded are not true at all. You can add favorites to your profile. You can also tag/add comments to your list along with it's forum function for every show.

It also has numerous 3rd party applications that regularly update your list for you without having to do anything but watch the show. For stats, it has plenty to compare with others (compatiblity, other scores, and more add-ins like MALgraph that do breakdowns by genre)

It didn't have those when I started my list.

Again, are you willing to enter more than 400 animes to this list right now?

I don't want to, but I had to do the same when I started. At least we're down to laziness to being the reason.

Nah, it's still the missing flexibility in what data I want to represent and how. The fact alone that MAL distinguishes between OVAs and series pisses me off. It would absolutely screw with all my statistics if I had to use single OVA episodes which are just an extension of a series as a single data point. I converged those with the series to  represent the actual length of a series.

One of the many annoyances if you don't have full control over your database.

I would be pissed if they didn't separate. OVAs are not apart of the full show for a reason. They vary in content, quality, and relevance wildly from show and definitely deserve their own category. They're not just an extension of the series, and most often a side show or something completely standalone.
