Electrum is all i've ever used and i think it works great.

Just curious what do you think are the main pros and cons of electrum vs other wallets

I just started with electrum. I like it because it is "instant use", no need to download blockchain. The deterministic addresses can be seen as a disadvantage for some, but it is a good idea to have all your addresses backed up by just a few words. Less chance of loosing funds from one or two new addresses since last wallet backup.

no download, no backup. and it doesn't matter if my computer falls in a vat of acid.

I gave the seed to 2 people who I trust with my life in case I am disabled or when I die.  I almost wrote if I die but that would be stupid.
