This article: what a shitfest.

But seriously, I was expecting some actual discussion about how GPG still isn't easy (or possible for that matter) in modern webmail clients, or even something relating to the usability of common GPG GUIs, but instead just got a guy complaining about how he was pressing enter too fast and missed a dialog box, among other nonsense complaints.

Personally, the GPG CLI acts exactly as I expect it to, being a CLI and all, and I don't expect non-advanced users to use it.



A messaging standard that only advanced users can use is basically useless. That's the point of the article.


I agree with your first sentence, but I don't think that's what the article was saying. (Or at the very least, it was poorly written enough such that that did not come across.)
