Wayback Machine is awesome for outages or links that doesn't work anymore! I love it!
It's known that they censor a lot of content
I really want the Wayback Machine to be a great working archive of internet content. But it's utterly slow, the API is more broken than it's working, robots.txt is followed, it is known to be censored, and the list goes on. Sad that the people behind the Internet Archive seem to focus more on pirating books and pissing of the entire publishing industry, than building a reliable, modern web archive.
One of the greatest internet inventions. Go back in past and feel some nostalgia seeing good old websites again!

It's one of the most valuable online tools I have ever came across.
Dead link? Not a problem. Want to prove something was changed or even existed at all? There you go. I use it every single day. I have no idea how else would I cite a website or a PDF file that might get deleted.
I have donated to support their infrastructure multiple times, and I think that this service is one of the greatest achievements of our times. You can expose liars and reference unpleasant truths. I love it!
Useless as an web archiving solution as it respects robots.txt, even for snapshots prior to an robots.txt filter on example.com. One of the most frustrating cases is when the website owner deliberately archived it on Wayback, but then lost the domain registry, someone else bought it and put a robots.txt on it, and all the archive on wayback automatically got deleted. Don't use wayback. And I don't even got in how this is so much power/responsibility for Internet Archive alone, and should be in a decentralized way instead.
