I think we're well on our way to a point where certificates can be mostly trusted. Of course certs can be stolen, but I would bet that "spoofed" certificates will soon be an occurrence of the past.

With certificate transparency, at least we'll know about it - afterwards, at least.

Well, afterwards, if the attack stops (software does not need to stop) in a timeframe short enough for your computer to no clear its history.
