I use MultiBit now,but before I using Bitcoin Core.

I am still using Bitcoin core, I feel quite safe with full validation wallet. With Multibit you must rely on outside blockchain - which, as previously confirmed can be problematic at times.

I don't think that there is a real threat to using an SPV wallet.

I am using blockchain.info wallet for these reasons :
1. used by lots of people
2. providing easy ways to make hackers away from accesing your wallet
3. extremly easy to use

the only problem the I have with blockchain.info wallet is Downtimes
they happen without a warning

If you have your private keys downloaded, then blockchain.info downtime will be irrelevent to you. You'll be able to spend from other wallets by importing those keys.

I am using mycelium by the way most of the bitcoiners are using mycelium wallet or blockchain wallet ..but I will always suggest to use a paper wallet so there will be always a backup of your funds

I am not sure about that. Most of the bitcoiners are using Bitcoin Core, Electrum, and Multibit. Most of the Android users are using mycelium.

Most of the users that are using blockchain.info are newbies. Since more experienced bitcoiners would never trust their money to the online education wallet, even though it was never hacked.

Many experienced users are actually using blockchain.info wallet. They do understand how things work and hence follow the following security practice...

i. Always keep the blockchain.info addresses downloaded in paper wallet format. This way, even if blockchain.info goes dark, coins are safe.

ii. Try, not to re-use an address with big balance for sending, blockchain.info is known to mess up RNG. For receiving, it has no effect though.

iii. Uses a strong password, preferably an alphanumeric combination of 10+ characters.

Young but I'm not that bold

I am using block chain web wallet
My transactions are small amounts so I do not fear being hacked or the site down
And I used it because it is very easy to create a wallet within seconds

- For bitcoin storage I generate paper wallets with vanitygen and transfer my bitcoins there.
- For small amounts and view only addresses I use BitPurse (a bitcoin wallet made in python) on my smartphone.
- For a node I use Bitcoin XT (to support BIP 101 and larger blocksize limit)

Using any online coin holder is like running down the street with your wallet tied to a string 100 ft behind you. You take a chance that they'll close up and your coins will be lost forever, or like blockchain.info, going down for hours while you can't touch your coins.
