So, which "mac guys" are you referring to? I recently got a Macbook for 
work and have been busy trying to recreate my environment/tools. I found 
the "GPG Suite" from this web site: https://gpgtools.org/index.html 
which seemed legit enough ... are those the developers you're referring 
to? Is there any concern over using their stuff?

I got to their site from the link  on 
https://www.gnupg.org/download/index.html so I had assumed it was Ok. :-/
