I would have to agree with you on that one - TextSecure seems like a great option, with the exception of its reliance on mobile numbers. This is mostly because they're centrally controlled, and at no point do you actually "own" your mobile number.
Changing this wouldn't be a big deal, as TextSecure doesn't really use mobile numbers for anything important as far as I can tell. I get the feeling it was more intended for ease of use among the average person, but it is frustrating for someone who would rather get rid of mobile numbers altogether.
