a) Why don't people like using PGP?

Many people do. The ones, who don't like it, mostly don't know it.

b) Does it matter how secure PGP is if people refuse use it?

Many people don't.

I had PGP installed on my systems. Everyone I wanted to communicate
with, including those near and dear to me, told me to stuff it where
the sun don't shine. Can you suggest an easy-to-use alternative that
people will _want_ to use? Or, is crypto intended for use by swelled
heads in academia only?

To securely use cryptography, there is a need for understanding
concepts. No-one can use cryptography without understanding concepts.
Cryptography used by people, who don't understand, is useless, because
it's completely insecure.

This is not a problem with PGP - it's a problem with cryptography.
