Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
no matter for their (sometimes) high fees.
Their wallet is free.  You can choose what transaction fee to use.
Blockchain wallet takes 40% of all wallets and seems like this percent will grow even higher.
Very dubious statistic.  It's impossible to tell exactly what percentage of wallets they take up.

Anyway, the amount of users in Bitcoin wallets is irrelevant.  What matters is the amount of people who use Bitcoin merchants and arguably the number of people who hold their coins safely in cold storage or other longer-term methods.

Normally, many people recommend Blockchain wallet as the basic and the easiest one, no matter for their (sometimes) high fees. Even I recommended this wallet to some newbies, cause of it was my first wallet as well. Blockchain wallet takes 40% of all wallets and seems like this percent will grow even higher.
