Electrum is not very user-friendly for newbies...
What is wrong with someone learning the more difficult way of operating a wallet and performing transactions correctly from the start?
...Blockchain.info is by far the easiest web wallet to use.
The first thread I went to for information about bitcoin wallets, not alt coins, had a fairly strong warning against using the blockchain.info wallet. There was a rebuttal, but the person insisted... I cannot really speak for the use of that wallet, but just to relay this from a 'pinned' message. Perhaps issues have been fixed.
