DES's algorithm isn't getting weak; the big problem with it is its key length. 56 bit keys can be broken by exhaustion.
However, with 3DES you get 168 key bits, and you're fine that way.

any competent programmer with an internet connection can write an RSA algorithm. that's the strongest encryption invented at this time. (although there are some other ones that are close).
