It’s not so much that nothing better has come along, it’s that no single one of 
those things does all the things PGP sets out to do.  For secure communications 
there are much better options than PGP - some of them in very heavy use by 
actual normal, non tech people.  For symmetric encryption of files there much 
better options out there.  For signing files there are other options (though 
perhaps not better).  


Does anyone know what PGP’s peak adoption rate was?  I always loved it in 
concept but very very rarely saw people actually trying to use it in the wild, 
outside of the types of people who read this list.
