Oh, it's *hard*. Look at how long it took Enigmail to get into a state
where it wasn't painful to use -- and there are still, today, parts
about it that give me the heebie-jeebies. (Admittedly, I don't have a
good fix for it, but...)
User interface design is a hard subject. It requires a much different
set of skills than software development, particularly cognitive
psychology. Look at how much money Apple spends making user interfaces;
they're not throwing that much money at the problem because it's easy. ;)
