"Works fine for me, does what it says"
Version: MacGPG2 2.0.17-9
Pros
The only free, open source encryption software available based on PGP. Easy to write an Applescript-based GUI. Much cheaper than the $100+ PGP package.
Cons
No GUI, but there never has been one. I wrote my own Applescript-based GUI which works well.
Summary
When it comes to protecting sensitive information, you don't want to mess around with new programs that pop up out of nowhere, with unknown history and integrity. GPG has been around for many years, is open source, and trusted all over the world. A GUI is only needed if you are encrypting and decrypting files, otherwise GPG provides all the needed Mail plugins and services. For file encryption it is unfortunate they do not provide a GUI, but it is not difficult to write your own Applescript based GUI, for example, by sending a shell command to the Terminal. The third-party program 'GPG Tools' from a few years ago will not run on Snow Leopard, that was a poor program anyway as it occasionally left open processes. GPG program does what it says and I've never had a problem. I feel these 1-star reviews are from misguided people who don't understand the value of free software and the ease of Applescript scripting.
