I'm wondering the same, it is a shame there's not a whole lot of end to end encrypted applications, it's a conspiracy all of it's own or something? Maybe cryptologists are sparse or this is just not in their available time for the type of problems to tackle, not sure. The need is clearly there for more open source secure applications, hopefully we see more.

My theory, as way out there as it might seem, is that there is hardly any interest for actual encryption. GPG's unique maintain was struggling to make ends meet until last year when he made it in the news.

I have yet to find someone, even among the "privacy aware" people to chat on Facebook using Pidgin's OTR plugin.

That's because the "privacy aware" folks don't use Facebook. And if they did (likely a damn good reason) they would. Makes it all the less likely for you to have met them
