Like I mentioned already, as it is right now, it seems to be more suitable for geeks (preferably with a second computer). It shouldn't be like that. It should be also for the average user.

The thing is running full nodes really is for bitcoin geeks. We want as many people running them as possible but the fact is that it's just not the right solution for most casual bitcoin users who just want to use bitcoin rather than run the infrastructure behind it.

The right solution for you is Electrum, Multibit, or some other light client. They still do the signing on your hardware with private keys only you have access to, so they really are as secure as a full node. I don't know why Electrum doesn't work for you, I thought it was quite reliable on windows.
