Blockchain.info is an online wallet and just like any other online wallet shouldn't be used to store a large amount or for long term purposes. For ease of usage and small amounts their wallet is fine. The entire Bitcoin landscape has become very political and some services are demonized or removed based on their stance on the infamous blocksize debate.

Note that blockchain.info was removed in december 2014, long before many of those political arguments came into play.
