Why? 
Ive found electrum to be pretty neat, no need for storing and updating multiple wallets, no need to leave the computer on for days updating the blockchain, and if you lose your wallet you can get it back by typing in a string of random words that are easy to write down.

too many options!!
I'm liking Armory for the offline feature but I originally found it searching for deterministic wallet hoping to find one where I could use my own seed so I don't have to write it down.
Is there a client that can generate a wallet from a specified seed? The length of the seed doesn't matter but I want to be able to generate it from an ASCII string of a the required length. I have memorised an algorithm that I use to generate any length of string so I don't have to remember a long phrase or write it down.

Armory. After all, what good are your bitcoins if they aren't secure? 
I use BitcoinQT .. just saying i used Armory
Armory is nice
Bitcoin-QT on the server and MultiBit on the desktop.
Bitcoin-QT here! Haven't had any issues with it.
Armory hands down.
Been using Bitcoin-QT since started playing with Bitcoin, early 2011.
Kept it running inside a VM.

No matter what your main client is, I think people should run Bitcoin-QT to support the network!
As more people come on board I imagine we will need more nodes.
Hopefully some more big servers will be set up to take the load.
As I understand it, just being a node really doesn't have any significant impact at this point. If your not mining, there's not much of a point in being a node. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) As more people come on board I imagine we will need more nodes.

At first I started using BitcoinQT, for about one year. Then I switched to Electrum because I got tired of updating the blockchain. When you were not online for a few days it took some time to do so...
And by the current growth of the blockchain it might even take longer in the future.

I use blockchain.info but with the bulk of my bitcoins stored in a brainwallet (address as a watch only).
I also keep the blockchain up to date on the Satoshi client because I want to contribute to the network

bitcoind. it uses much less memory and cpu.
Good point man, did you compare all of them?Being resource wise is essential these days.
Though the storage space is one extra parameter to consider..

i tried the satoshi client, but the download took forever(never finished it), and I found out about electrum, been using it since then
