yes
but not all bitcoin programs have High deterministic methods (seed import) yet. but there are enough out there already to make a fair choice of different options

Yes, you can surely restore your wallet with just typing the 12 or 24 word seed key

Can you give examples for wallets who make it possible ?

so no need in backup the file itself ? best way in every case is to test any approach and see if it is working. after this is sucessfull you can use it in production. (from: Lessons of Life)

I think they are looking for a wallet that is using the same kind of seed than electrum and as such can restore from an electrum seed. I dont think there is such a wallet, unless you know enough to convert the seed -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1000544.0

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

Be that is may, Electrums mnemonic is not used by any other wallet. Not even Electrum 2, but its able to work with electrum 1.x seeds. Electrum 2 and Mycelium use the same master private key, but you would need to extract that from the mnemonic first (hence my "know enough to covert the seed"). See the excel sheet in the linked thread.

(from: Lessons of Life) You cannot test all of the proven theory in reality. If you have doubt, you can comsult this community which will be helpful to clarify your confusion. As long as you can accept it, you jist apply them.

I find it rather strange that wallet developers didn't come up with one standard of seed restoration method. It is that way for technical reasons (it is hard to unify standard) or developers just care about that function?

I find it rather strange that wallet developers didn't come up with one standard of seed restoration method. It is that way for technical reasons (it is hard to unify standard) or developers just care about that function? You can get the private key for each electrum address by right clicking it and selecting "private key" on the menu. If a new version of electrum uses a different seed restoration method to your old one you can import a list of private keys from your old wallet. Updating would be awkward but not impossible.
