Your point is sort of sideways to mine: yes, I happened to pick tools and idioms (a text editor with GPG integration) that aren't avaialable to typical consumers. Yet the solution is trivial: I open a file and edit it!

Why can't the existing solutions in the market retain that triviality when translating to the consumer? Why must we be inflicted with bad crypto, cloudification, pervasive over-integration, lack of just-edit-the-text extensibility, etc...?
