I use blockchain as it's easier to send and receive bitcoins and the time taken for confirming a transaction is lesser compared to xapo. I prefer xapo only if I need to store over 0.4-0.5 BTC as it requires verification to access the wallet and for me xapo is more trustworthy than blockchain.
You can download private keys from blockchain.info but not from Xapo. Exactly that is why i prefer blockchain.info as my day to day use and it can also be used as cold storage.

But with regards to security, Xapo is much better than Blockchain and even with regards to the fee (xapo doesn't charge any fee for a transaction).

When people try to learn how to use bitcoin, blockchain will be the first to being introduce as easy used online wallet. I'm have more than BTC 1 but yes.. it's kindda scary if I save too much, I need safer wallet but I was too lazy to learn about offline wallet

I use blockchain as my wallet to receive coins. They are not strict as to where coins came from, unlike others wallets where if they found out that coins comes from gambling sites or known ponzi sites, they will send you a notice through email that you need to transfer your coins to somewhere else.

i use blockchain too... Mainly because
1- I don't have enough bitcoins to store in cold storage... 2- I don't know how to store bitcoins in cold storage...
Also because it's fast and reliable

I too use the blockchain.info wallet. Mostly for convenience (easy to use and can be used anywhere in the world with internet access), but also because it has tumbling (mixing) service (SharedCoin) which works pretty well.
Since I visit blockchain.info at least once daily, it makes it easy to check on my BTC there.
Note that the security there may not be the best... To make my wallet more secure, several months ago I tried using 2FA, but I could never get that to work right. But, there is also a "lite 2FA" (my wording), via account settings you can set a second password for sending any BTC out. Highly recommended.
But, most of mt BTC is in cold storage (Trezor and Ledger Nano). Safer...

Didn't know this fact, lol i was thinking how people are spending unconfirmed transactions, But what happens when it gets not confirmed for 2 days and the funds are returned to the sender? I personally don't use the blockchain.info wallet, also it is removed in bitcoin website as a bitcoin wallet.

When I first know about bitcoin, Blockchain.info wallet was the most trusted online wallet which I have control of the private keys. There was no better choice at the time. I have a strong password, 2 factor authentication enabled. I backup regularly and do not keep more than 0.5 btc there.

Whats the maximum Bitcoins BTC , you dare to keep on these online wallets? Why you use these online wallets? [1]Most people probably started with online wallets, that is a guess I know I did and yes I knew the vulnerabilities. I still have between a btc and two on there at any given time. I use them for ease of use and nothing else.

I use blockchain.info for disposable wallets. If I only need them for a few uses. I never store much bitcoin on there. But it is just a convenient way to not have to use my main wallets.
