Even if it's easy (and it may be now - I haven't done it for a while), it's still a whole extra backup workflow, which I have to work out how to do for all different browsers, and if I'm on another machine work out how to import, and work out if it's possible on mobile, and oh look, my personal certificate has expired so I can't login to renew it so I need to create a new account to get a new certificate and email them to get the accounts merged...all for one site. Or

  ./letsencrypt-auto renew

Good for you, I guess. I've yet to have letsencrypt work a single one of my websites and I'll stick to StartSSL until it there's something better around.
