Every exchange as far as I can tell is a little shaky for one reason or another. For instance btc-e is in Russia or something. I'd love a site that is clear, easy to use, and there was some assurance that everything was legit so if it went under you could get something back. Gox was big but so shady about where all the funds were. See it's weird, the thing that would make an exchange reputable is if there was some big entity backing it, but that also goes against Bitcoin's principles.

I just think that the exchanges should be P2P as well and I think there are lots of solutions in the pipeline for this but probably none which are ready to use just yet. But I thought I would ask anyway.

No one knows who btc-e's owners are, and they can grab the funds and run away when they want to.
