I second that.  Switched to Stripe from Worldpay 8 months ago.  Not just 
was setting up and rolling out easy but interface and service wise they 
make Worldpay look like the horrible dinosaur they are.  I have been 
telling them for 10 years about their terrible interface and lack of 
basic functionality (you can't even search for a customer - not by name, 
not by email address....)  - but they just don't listen and nothing has 
changed.  I predict Worldpay will follow in the footsteps of Kodak.
