But GPG in general is the de facto unix way to go about crypting things. Straight up openssl is good for somethings, making little shell scripts like "dcat" is nice for others, but for general purpose encryption of files, nothing really beats GPG.
I guess GPG isn't simple. It's a big project, well-vetted, and has been under development for years. The usage of its tools, though, is very simple, and the file formats have now become an acceptable standard, widely adopted all over.
So really, give GPG another shot and a close look before you knock it. If it still doesn't meet what you're looking for, check out the man page for openssl-enc. Probably what you want is something like "openssl enc -aes-256-ofb -in infile -out outfile -salt", but likely there are other nuances to account for too. Be careful with crypto.
