I 100% with you that UX is the most important problem that is not solved with PGP, and as long as nobody will do something we'll never be able to use crypto. I also believe that if your crypto doesn't solve something that PGP doesn't already solve, then you'd better spend your time on bettering UX instead. However Mumble is not a valid comparison, because Mumble is not End-to-End encrypted. The security of Mumble amounts to an encrypted connection to the server, protected by a password; from this POV Mumble is no more secure than Facebook or Hacker News.

It is end to end encrypted when you are one of the participants and you own the server. Thats what I mean by its the best secure communications solution I have - I can sholder the work of getting a valid cert, but once its setup as long as I trust who I'm talking to is who I think I'm talking to, I am sure nobody can evesdrop because its my server. And for the people I care to have private conservations with, downloading / install Mumble on their phone or desktop is their regular patterns of behavior and isn't inconvenient at all compared to insanity like GPG or OTR.
