I've been playing around with a couple of Bitcoin wallets recently, and have stumbled upon Electrum.

For me, this wallet is really appealing as I don't have the resources to maintain the blockchain on my machine, and I don't really like the idea of handing over my coins to Blockchain / Coinbase to store, and Electrum seems to be that nice compromise. The big disadvantage though is the UI is terrible, and I'm really put off using it.

Just wondering if there are any other wallets which are similar in structure to Electrum, or other wallets which don't involve me having to trust another company with all my coins?

True, Electrum's half-baked UI is its biggest drawback IMHO...
Such a shame as it's a real solid & fast client otherwise.

If using Windows, have you tried flatfly's branch of it? It looks more polished as
he's using a more modern graphical toolkit to build it.
See this screenshot.
