Yet, no one came up with a tool as straightforward as parcimonie [1] before two years ago. My keyring has been fresh ever since I could `apt-get install` it. Easy to use public key cryptography is a hard problem. Maybe PGP has some issues that can't be solved, but I believe we are making progress in understanding how to make the whole experience more enjoyable.
