From what I have learned, security/cryptography is about protecting what needs to be protected for as long as is necessary (which is relative to the parties and data involved) - there is no such thing as "absolute" or "perfect" security/cryptography and probably never will be.
Based on that statement, "good enough" is "good enough" relative to the value of what is being protected. From my personal experience, while difficult for use by ordinary users, GPG has proven "good enough" (if not better) for most common business/organizational/personal uses.
That is not to say, that a better alternative/increased ease of use is not possible. Better alternatives are always possible (possibly hard), but it seems such an alternative has not yet presented itself. This leads me to believe that this is in fact an ongoing market and worldwide opportunity for those who have the skills to make alternatives real.
