From various sources, MyEtherWallet (MEW) are not under development and maintenance any more. Even its founders has confirmed that they are switching to develop a new platform called mycrypto and encourage everybody to move there property to there.
But IMO, MEW or mycrypto is just a gateway to access your real wallet in the blockchain, so, both of them are still fine event MEW is not maintained anymore, right?

I am still using MEW, last time I install the plug in call Metamask but it cost ETH to move the token from MEW to Metamask so still using.
From what I understand, you are right when saying MEW is the gateway to access the block chain.
We are in the cryptos world where people very cautious, so if something like "not safety" when using MEW, I am positive the alert will come all over the forums/discord/telegram as this will be a critical point.

indeed some of the founders and developers of MEW made new wallet providers under the name MyCrypto and this happened a few months ago. don't worry, because both are safe and I still use both. if you are afraid, then you can use other wallets, such as metamask, electrum, coinomi, jaxx and hardware wallets.

Yes, I'm going to switch to ENJ Wallet, but I'm just curious about things. And IMO, why don't they keep working on MEW since it was working very well, right? |

Technically, the MEW wallet does not directly store your coins. MyEtherWallet gives you an address where you can receive coins from other people. This address is referred to as the general address of your wallet. Think of it as your bank account number, where you can receive money from other people.
For that, you need a secret password called a private key. This private key is a unique number that is generated randomly. You cannot give a private key to anyone. By using this private key with your public address, you can send your coins and tokens to another address.

But I heard that people got hacked by losing there private key, right? And they ensure that they don't have any malware or phising mail or something like that, just come to MEW as normal, that makes me worry about MEW |

I'm not sure about this, but in various groups I joint in Telegram, people were discussing about this during the time. I'm trying to find the official announcement but no luck! |

A lot of the people are using MEW. There seems to be no problem with it and the users are still at ease by using them.

I'm still using MEW as I consider it one of the safest wallets out there. It's true some of its developers left to start mycrypto project. But that doesn't mean MEW is now an abandoned project. Just ensure you prioritize your safety by ensuring you don't enter your private keys on a phishing site.

Since I joined the crypto world I have been using MEW because I think its the best wallet for altcoins and due to its secured nature I prefer it over other wallets. To be honest I still use it and its the best though.

Technically MEW is just an interface for creating your wallet, and I think you've misunderstood that MEW is the safest since it's very risky moreover if you access the wallet using your private key. The safest wallet is where you can access them without giving your private key or store them offline, the hardware wallet for example. MEW itself not recommend people to use private key as a method of login, since their site always got attacked yeah it's better safe than sorry, just a friendly advice. |

No. I ported to imtoken after evading seconds several hack attempts. Imtoken and Eidoo are safer in my opinion and serves same purpose as MEW

I have not really used mycrytpo ans I do not know much people using it so for now I still stick with myetherwallet for my ERC 20 tokens..although I believe hardware wallets are the safest to use in holding but what happens in a case of theft or loss of the device?

Yes im still using mew. Ever since i trusted mew with my eth and erc20 tokens. I feel safe using new. Although it is advised to move im staying with mew for now. Mycrypto is still new. Although the founders of mew are recommending its use, i still think mew has proven its safety and security.
