In my personal case, I guess a couple things happened in the meantime (in decreasing order of importance):
1. I realized that getting other people to go through the rigamarole was always a hassle. By far the biggest hurdle.
2. I started running my own XMPP server. Where I can be much more certain of not only content encryption, but also traffic obfuscation (if you run it as a hidden service).
3. I realized email is an inherently insecure platform. You can encrypt the contents, but not the metadata and traffic.
4. I don't really need encrypted email after all. Most of my usage is mailing lists, etc.
I understand why they need to take their current approach, but I guess in my case I finally realized it just wasn't a good fit. You sound pretty happy though, so to each their own. Just leaving some thoughts here for the lurkers. Cheers!
