I have hold BTC in Electrum for some time and really like that wallet. Now, I want to get some ETH. So, I'm wondering what desktop wallet I should choose. I'd like a desktop wallet that doesn't download the full blockchain... These are three options about which I've read nice things on the Internet. What do you think?
MyEtherWallet

https://www.exodus.ioAs far as I know there is no ethereum desktop wallet available that doesn't require to download the whole blockchain. MyEtherWallet is not a desktop wallet but if you don't want to download full ethereum blockchain MyEtherWallet is one of the best option and it lets you hold your private key. If you really want a desktop wallet you can try Exodus. I use Mew for accepting erc-20 tokens and I have Exodus in my desktop pc for storing ethereum and other altcoins (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dash) and I don't experienced any problem using both.
