I want to create new wallet using MyEtherWallet(dot)com, is it recommended wallet and easy to use?
Yes, myetherwallet is fully secured wallet if you save your private key and never share it with anyone in any circumstances. Bookmark the main site of MEW and always go through that link to login your account and try to log in it with your UTC file.

The biggest threat of such website is all about phishing, aka directly to a similar website which resemble the same as MEW and get your private keys easily.
It is easy not to get scammed by simply notice the url, but its different story if somebody already had access to your network.

it is fast and secure, but since it is online based, i would not recommend it for large amounts of money, hardware wallet is necessary in that case

Yes I recommend this wallet to use. In my opinion he has a simple and intuitive interface for many I think it's important. Yet this wallet provides a fairly high level of security. And this is an online wallet which means if you lose your computer you will still save your money.

Yeah, I say why not. Been using myetherwallet. It's pretty handy and easy to use plus it's free. Although there were times when issues or bugs come that users started to panick. But overall it is recommended. However, when using it, be careful of the sites that you visit especially phishing ones. There are a lot of scammers using this tactic which will allow them to access your wallet and take your funds out in a blink of an eye. Just do not trust anybody when signing up to any site. Also, there's a security check and guide on the site, you can navigate and familiarize yourself.

I have been using MEW for a year now and have not had any losses from it. You must store your important information in a safe place. Do not share any information about your password, private key or keystore. And you have to pay attention to the right page https://www.myetherwallet.com. Since I know there are many fake sites like mew's site.

I used MyEtherwallet and until now it is my main day-to-day transaction wallet. So far (crossfingers) it is a trustworthy wallet for my crypto holdings. I add on top of it Metamask for more added security. I think MEW is secure as long as you hold your credentials privately.

The MEW is used to store Token Tokens in the ERC standard 20, so far I still use it, it is quite safe if people know how to use and use smart. and I will still use it.

You should use a wallet MEW, which is quite safe wallet if you know to use. However, you should be wary because there are many fraudulent websites that look very similar to the MEW wallet.

I don't have any problem using MEW and I thank God for not becoming a victim of hacking ever since I used this wallet way back May 2017 up until today. Security depends on the team members indeed but we also have to keep in mind that we also have our own responsibility on how protected are we when using those devices while making blockchain transactions? I mean, are your devices cleared and protected enough with those malwares and viruses? Are you saving the website as bookmark to your device to avoid phishing sites? Are you saving your private keys to your devices? Answer these questions first and always do your own research on how you can protect yourself from those hackers.

So far I use myetherwallet to store all of my crypto currency coins. So far I feel safe and include easy to use. In my opinion, whether or not the use of myetherwallet is safe or not depends on us as the owner. If we will all the procedures and all the facilities provided by myetherwallet then we may not affect hacking. Besides that we also have to make sure that we are connected with our e-mail. And our e-mail is not connected to someone else's e-mail because it can be very dangerous. Lastly, I was advised to always update the password that we made so the hacker could not track or guess our password.

I have used MyEtherWallet for two years now without experiencing any insecurity. Being cautious is very paramount here, always check the url to see you are not redirected to another phishing site. Never follow an unknown link that leads to MyEtherWallet.
Remember, MyEtherWallet do not have the address of any wallet holder, hence avoid emails that claim they're coming from MyEtherWallet.

Yes it higly recomended, but you must be carefull if you have finished create new wallet.
backup your privatekey, json file.
First, if you want to use myetherwallet make sure that the original website, there is too much duplicate of myetherwallet website.
second, keep your gadget / computer clean from viruses.
its highly recomended to create new wallet

Using MyEtherWallet is way easier and it is much more secured than the other wallets we all know. It's also good for transactions and such since it is already being used by the people who uses cryptocurrency around the globe. And of course there is MetaMask that's way also good than the other existing wallets right now.
"more secured than the other wallets we all"
well can you explain to me why there's so many people got stolen there money while they are using MEW that allow you to direct login with privkey which is very dangerous and why the last time i see MEW got dns hacked.

After MEW using today I load a local version from MyCrypto (part of same development team that made own project in the Jan '18) and I'm glad now. I don't afraid any phishing sites or other DNS errors. Metamask not bad but my experience tell me about some unfriendly useк interface. I understood it after several instructions
