jackemled: @soatok I tried out PGP (using GPG) for a little while. It is so terrible & unpleasant to use, & the cryptography used is absolutely ancient. The usage cycle is convoluted & confusing.I'm sure it could be decent to use with a nice UI, but it could never feel secure. You're always going to have to downgrade your security for certain people with it too. It feels like something LockPickingLawyer would open in a few seconds after learning cryptography once he exhausts all physical locks.
