AniList is, personally, the best anime/manga tracking website around currently. Some people may prefer some others for various reasons, but even then AniList is a strong contender. It boasts strong social features, powerful search and browsing, active (if a little slow) development, custom lists, alternative rating systems, alternative titling systems, and plenty more, all wrapped in a modern website design. It strikes an excellent balance between social elements to keep up with or make new friends while still keeping a focus on being an informational database and list tracker. Compared to other website offerings: MyAnimeList, Anime-Planet, or Kitsu, I find AniList to have the healthiest balance between these features and the smoothest design. It's already great and it gets better with time.
If you're looking to switch over from MyAnimeList, there are features that MAL has that you might miss here, some of them being: profile and list customization are less powerful, there aren't any clubs (yet), and there's less of an established history and database. The lack of history is one of the biggest losses here, meaning you sometimes have to visit MAL to view a fleshed-out character list or see plentiful reviews. It's up to you to figure out if that's a deal breaker, but I would encourage giving AniList a try. You might just find you like it.
It is indeed good for list keeping and discovering new anime, but stay away from their forums! The community is incredibly toxic, users can swear and cuss all they want but the moment someone so much as make a LGBT related joke or use the word "trap" to refer to a character and they wont hesitate to ban you... I've seen someone being openly racist towards white men and those comments are still up today... From what I've gathered, since I've been with them for a bit over a year now, some of the moderators have incredibly twisted moral viewpoints and I don't know how to even describe it...
The thing is why do you need to talk to people online whom you don't know? AniList is a woke site and so are Anime-Planet & MAL.

Edit: Apparently, according to other users, the forums are politically biased, with hate comments targeting certain groups of people not taken down.
