why?
Never used it myself, what are the things you don't like about it?
PS: an initiative has just recently been started to standardize "storage of secrets". Maybe you have some good input to send?
See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/secret-storage-spec
I used to be a Gnome fan myself -- being less and less by now.
But gnome-keyring sending pop-ups on my face while I was trying to ssh to some site (in a terminal window!) was more than I could bear. After filing a bug report and being told that this is how it's supposed to work...
Just curious: What is the reason for your death wishes?

Mind providing details? Inquiring gnome-keyring users want to know.

(also this text field isn't marked as mandatory yet seems to be. hitting the back button erased all the input fields. your blog engine must die.)

But can we have something like it?
gnome-keyring may be worthy of death. I'm not sure why you're saying that now; I remember it being a bit odd but not problematic (forsook Gnome for Xfce some time ago).
I would, however, like to see a freedesktop password management protocol and KDE, GNOME, Xfce, and whatever implementations of it. Then have all these other apps that implement their own password managers (Mozilla products, I'm looking at you!) use it. I do like being able to log in to one thing for secure password storage.

bug reporting experience
Whilst I have had a frustrating time with gnome-keyring now and then, I have found the bug-reporting process to be relatively pleasant. I even got a heartfelt thanks from the maintainer for some investigative work I did on one bug.

Re: gnome-keyring must die
I can understand why you would get popups from seahorse-agent if you use that, but if ssh gives you popups from gnome-keyring, that sounds like something is misconfigured to me?
BTW: it's easy to configure things in such a way that seahorse-agent doesn't get used inside a terminal; it's just another ssh-agent after all...

It died (a horrible death) on my computer.
