If CEX can double spend, or 51% attack or whathave you......the problem seems to be with bitcoin itself, not any one user. CEX seem to be good guys, what happens if bad guys develop the same power.
Good or Bad, they are subject to coercion. Centralization of power is bad for bitcoin, it destroys its value, it adds trust relationships where they don't belong. CEX is unwise for allowing themselves to get to this point, that alone, even if it doesn't make them "bad" and "untrustworthy", they need to be better than this. They do not have the power to resist the coercive forces at play in the world, and either have too much hubris to see the truth of that, or are already compromised. Either way, there are evidently necessary improvements needed. Yes, in the protocol, as well as in the wisdom and responsibility of those that would hold its reins.

We need a usable p2pool software so that everyone starts mining. It's the only way, we need decentralized mining. We need it easy to install & configure, clean and with intuitive gui.
I don't agree on the GUI part. No serious IT infrastructure would trust a GUI. What's actually needed is that current dominant mining applications (bfgminer, cgminer) incorporate p2p component. That would bring p2p usage to new heights.

When you say, "pool op can screw you in many ways", do you mean things like : - alternate payout addys - "orphans" - blocks that pay out 10% of normal reward - extremely high minimum share difficulty - extremely fast share expiry rate ect.. Can you tell that I've had my fill ? heh... Are there any plans to integrate P2P with the client ?Make it 'turn key' and us noobs (f the morons ) will flock to Anoncoin. lol

Pools were never needed IMO.

In my experience it is easier to fix technology than to fix people. Make the technology easier (such as adding the p2p pool options to cgminer and guiminer as suggested above) and that fixes lots of people, when the issues are understood. Adding in merge mining options, and other profit generating activities that the pools can offer and it become easier and more rewarding. People are more inclined to do the right thing when the right thing is not too hard for them, and doesn't cost too much.

Some people that have money to invest in miners are less technically inclined and might not be comfortable using a program that only uses "command lines" I agree that having a GUI is useful to those who are less technically inclined however I also agree that Command Line is a good as well as you don't have to worry about the GUI resource requirements on the OS not to mention the automation that you can put in place if a GUI was not required. I have looked into P2Pool lately and I absolutely believe that is a possible solution especially if it was integrated with the popular miners. I just wish the over all hash rate of the P2Pool network was higher to make it more profitable to mine... You could use a GUI that could display the output that your command line program would display in a more "user friendly" format. The GUI could also change settings that you would need to type manually in your command line program. The command line verson of the program could then run in the background and the GUI would only need to be open when the user is interacting and/or watching it.

Having both a CLI and GUI, everyone could choose. Why argue against the creation of such a choice, easier to just write it.

It looks like these pools are "unknown" pools but all of the mining proceeds are being sent to the same address. It appears that blockchain.info is trying to make their pool stats more accurate.
