I couldn't agree more. Getting smart but non-nerd friends set up with OpenPGP is truly an eye opener. The rate of adoption is terrible because of that and nothing else.
Even with a GUI like Enigmail, I needed hour long explainathons to make it work for these friends. Smart, borderline brilliant folk.
The same people now use WhatsApp with encryption and don't even know it. That's what a good crypto UX looks like.
I'd love for a google-free, proprietary-free, facebook-free alternative to exist but if the alternative is painful hours of setting up encrypted mail only to have it cease working after two weeks because the user forgot their passphrase, I'm gonna say I don't care too much.
