Except that it has absolutely no protection after you've paid. You have no recourse with iDeal. The money has been sent.
How often do you read on Dutch forums [1] whether they paid with iDeal? Because if you do, your only recourse is to either sue them (which the Dutch rarely do) or open a dispute with the Thuiswinkel Waarborg [2].
For as long as I bought stuff online in The Netherlands I used a credit card. If they didn't offer it I'd find someone else.

But the best secondary effect was that it locks out foreign banks who can't be arsed to set up a local branch and apply for a banking license.
