MyEtherWallet itself if safe, but watchout for phishing sites that look like MEW. There are more and more scammers who ask for your private keys/wants you to login through their phishing slack, so be sure to pay attention, especially on slack channels.

I was always wondering  what  could  happen if  myetherwallet.com  website get hacked... so it's   better  to have the coins on  a   desktop wallet,  instead of  a  web wallet?
It's   a  question because  I a  little bit  afraid  of  web based  wallets



Generally your coins are always on the blockchain - and if you control your private key you can access them.
The problem with online wallets is, that your private keys can be sniffed (they hack the website and copy your key and then move your coins on the blockchain).

Most safe wallet is desktop wallet on a secured computer.
