Kraken is one of the worst exchange ever. A friend of mine lost a lot of money in that. I wrote a post about it too. Run away from it as far as you can.

Coinbase is my main exchange, Kraken is just a backup. I'm mainly keeping the account open because Kraken will receive the BTC if/when the MtGox creditor disbursement happens. Coinbase is my primary exchange, that seems to be the most reliable way (for an American) to get fiat in and out of crypto.
I wonder if there was a time people had the same complaints about equity exchanges...
"The NYSE is absolute shit, I'm gonna do all my trading on NASDAQ from now on!"
"I lost so much money at the CBOE, but I don't trust the people running the Chicago Mercantile Exchange either, will have to investigate opening an account at the London Stock Exchange!"
Someday these crypto exchanges will just work. . . someday. . .
Have you tried binance? I personally recommend it. 100% uptime unless there is maintenance for which you will be informed beforehand. Kraken's limit orders don't work for jackshit and their site is mostly down. Since you use Coinbase, it means you primarily work with btc, eth and litecoin and BCH but check binance out. It's best for other altcoins. Kraken is only good because Mt.Gox is paying your coins back there. Otherwise it's of no use.
