I was always wondering what could happen if myetherwallet.com website get hacked... so it's better to have the coins on a desktop wallet, instead of a web wallet?
It's a question because I a little bit afraid of web based wallets
Yo have a point there.But consider tat your own laptop/destop can be hacked as well. There is alwas a flaw with any means of storing coins. Almost anyone would agree that you must hold your private keys to be safe. But the other da there was a story of a guy that destroy his papper wallet with water...
