Probably a lot of newbies know only the qt client...

Bitcoin-qt works well for tech-savvy folks, but I feel it's confusing for new users (it confused me when I first started). Of course, full credit for developing this solid client from the beginning with no other point of reference.

Regarding online/Web wallets, I'm aware of blockchain.info's MyWallet service. It's not too hard to use. What other online/Web wallets are there (not exchanges; just services that strictly act as an online wallet)?

Armory and bitcoin-qt is the way to go. I keep most of my funds in armory and like maybe 10-20 bitcoins in qt for quick transactions.

VanillaWallet is designed to be simple/friendly (for casual or new users), but it's only in Beta (v0.5). Also good as a USB key wallet.

That said, I rely on bitcoin-qt most of the time. I also use blockchain.info/wallet (and associated Android app) to hold a couple coins for alternate access.

I use multiple clients. Each client serves a different purpose.  The poll might have been better if it allowed us to choose more than one answer. Also blockchain.info/wallet isn't on the poll. I suppose I could have just marked "OTHER" for that.  I don't see MtGox or BitFloor either (both could be considered extremely limited web hosted wallets).

DannyHamilton, you're right about choosing multiple answers. I thought I'd clicked the right checkbox, but it won't let me go back and edit it now! Embarrassed
Regarding blockchain.info, MtGox etc.. I kept this poll specific to client software which runs on the computer itself, so I guess they would fall under the category of "other"

EDIT: As of 2013-04-17 BitFloor has ceased all operations.

As a newbie, I'd like to know what the most popular bitcoin client other newbies and experienced users alike are using.
Perhaps I've made a bad choice? - Mine (who will not be mentioned in case it prejudices the poll) is a bit clunky.
