@pettter Fortunately stuff like Enigmail integration in Thunderbird/Icedove, Evolution in itself, Seahorse integration in Nautilus etc. make OpenPGP pretty darn easy to use.
The web of trust is still hard, because it _must_ involve manual interaction (unless you've got more or less a brain wave interface), but OpenPGP itself is pretty darn easy nowadays.
As long as you're not using unintuitive proprietary operating systems like OS X or Windows. Then it's fucking hard. And pointless.
