eh, there exist plenty of things that are nice and shiny.
I can take pidgin and OTR and with about three minutes worth of "You should click here", have it set up easily enough that even a complete non techy can use it.
The problem is 1) It requires installation and 2) People don't know it exists. (Strangely enough, once it's installed i've never had anybody move back, mostly as pidgin is a fair amount nicer to use then MSN)
