Title: SharedCoin down, DarkWallet is dead, CoinJoin market hard to use, what left?

SharedCoin used to be good for lite privacy protection but it often goes down because of bad blockchain.info tech team.

I wish they would just build in decentralized mixing in all the wallets.

Pools of 3-4 wallets take turns mixing so each wallet does the mixing in one round. This ensures that at least when your own wallet does the mixing it will be honest.
The members of the pool you participate in should change for each round if possible.

This would be very simple to do and it would make chain analysis impossible. We don't need super fancy algorithms that no one understands/implements well.

I think mixing bitcoin and purposely trying to own bitcoin anonymously are likely to link with illegal activities. This should be discourage.

Mmm how does this solve anything? As far as I know Bitcoin Core doesn't add any additional anonimity.

OP Gmaxwell is working hard on confidential transactions, we must have hope that the dont want to make mainstream a Bitcoin that lacks anonymity and the will keep pushing a more anonymous Bitcoin. I think he is also involved in CoinJoin. Maybe in the future we have those nice features implemented inside Core.

As companies begin using bitcoin, do you think they will be comfortable with their competitors being able to view every one of their transactions on the blockchain?

True, but it is very inconvenient, and ultimately centralized, you are trusting that bitmixer.io (or whatever tumbler you use) aren't keeping logs. Also some people may not want to use Tor.

We need it to be really simple and implemented inside wallets, something normal people can use with one click only. Anything more is a failure.

Do you have any evidence to back up your belief, or are you just a pathetic rule-follower who is terrified of doing anything without someone's approval and jealous that others don't seem to have your disability?

There are Dash and Monero.
