That's also the problem with switching to a new and untested solution. You only get to be wrong once. Is there any symmetric cypher with more cryptanalytic effort put into than AES? Is there even one?

You switch to something else out of paranoia and you could easily switch to something with a theoretical backdoor that NSA has already identified and exploited (after all, they're "10-20 years ahead of us", right?).
