Good post Vladimir.  I only recommend the official client to be used for storing substantial quantities of bitcoin (Instawallet or others are good if you need a little spending money for a few days and you need to use a cell phone, but no more than a few bitcoins).  If you are not technical enough to use the official client properly, then either you shouldn't be saving substantial amounts of bitcoins (you need to wait until the clients are more robust), or you should find someone you personally trust to use or help you use the official bitcoin client (and you need to not only trust that person's character, you also need to trust their skills).

How is there any trust left in the community after all the hacks over the past year or so? This consistent bad news is a huge red flag to new investors.
