They skim fee's

They do?
[Update: Oh, ... if you mark the checkbox to have a "shared" transaction, which improves privacy, there is a fee.   Otherwise, the fee that is paid goes to the miner of the transaction, not Blockchain.info.]

Blockchain.info's design (javascript in the browser to decrypt a wallet file, plus open source js code) should mean the site operators can't access your wallet or spend your bitcoins. Throw in two-factor auth and a second password for spending (or paper wallets) and you're most safe against the operators.

Other sites may vary though. Plus you're still open to trojans on your pc/phone/etc.
