I use Multibit Classic and I am satisfied with what offers as well as ease of use.I do not hear much of a positive opinion on MultiBit HD so at the moment I do not plan to switch to a new wallet but I will certainly explore some new options Smiley
You are right, don't use MultiBit HD it's worse. Better to keep using MultiBit Classis, you will regret if you change it.

Better always go with blockchain This is whats known as a hybrid wallet meaning the company stores your wallet online but they do not have access to your private keys. However since the wallet is loaded from their servers some trust in the company is still needed.I will Recommend for beginners who are trying out Bitcoin

I've been using blockchain as well. I never had an issue with them. You can access your wallet from your phone as well as on a PC. They give you the option to make backups in so many ways.

I got an offline wallet as well as a couple of online ones. I use blockchain for my online wallet. Mostly because I own the private keys to it.
That's why I like blockchain and use that for the most part. If something happens to their site I still got my private keys.

Electrum on my laptop and Andreas Schildbach's wallet on my phone. The latter comes in handy when you need to do a quick purchase through the qr code scanning. I've been using both wallets for over a year now and so far, no issues have I even encountered on them.

I'm currently trying Coinomi out. It's not very secure but I like being able to carry almost all my altcoins and btc in the same centralized place. Also their exchange is very straightforward and easy to use (although rates are a little over the top).

Core wallet, because I'm not a fool
Im also a Core addict because im used to it since I ever started with Bitcoin and it's what I can fully trusth, but lets not kid ourselves, if we want mass adoption, Core can't be the most used wallet because most people can't be bothered to deal with the local blockchain download (let alone if the pro big block nutjobs win and we see less and less individual nodes)

I go for blockchain.info Why?
It's easy to use.
Protection of the site is good (the identifier in combination with Google Authenticator)
You can sign messages
Adding a new wallet is easy as hell

And it's very easy to define your own fee.

I agree with you that bitcoin core is not suitable for normal users
For example, I have slow internet connection and my hard desk is not enough to sync the wallet with the block chain

I can understand that. It has a great interface. But while you do control the private keys, it is still susceptible to attacks that desktop wallets aren't... eg. via Javascript and things like that. I also use Blockchain.info for ease of use, but only keep a couple coins in there. For bigger transactions I use an air-gapped machine with a desktop wallet.

Remember also that Blockchain.info uses SPV, so you can't depend on it 100% either.

It's better than Coinbase at least... As you mentioned, as you actually control the private keys.

I love Electrum. It is my favorite. The only thing is I wish it showed constant updates to bitcoin price.
I do use Blockchain.info for smaller stuff though.
My favorite thing about Multibit is that it tell hows much your wallet is worth.
As stated previously about Bitcoin core, it just isn't a viable option for those with limited hard-drive space.

Coinbase has a nice online wallet. I prefer everything to be online so I can acces it everywhere.

I don't work from 1 pc, most of the time I am in the car so an online wallet is what i prefer.
