I have been with PC Financial (not Simplii for everything except credit card) since i was 16 (34 now), and haven't needed to visit a bank except for like 3 times in all that time. Having any balance sitting in chequeing account is basically paying a fee, as it's lost income from interest. All the big banks offer next to nothing on saving accounts, so no point of even using them for any kind of savings. PC Financial World Elite credit card is also free. I do use RBC for my investments mostly because that's who my work uses for our RRSP matching, but other than that, day to day banking, Simplii just works.
