same thoughts. I have been using GPG since the late 90ies and can't see the issues everyone has. But funny how that the same people who have no issues discussing some of the most complex things in CompSci e.g. functional programming, ML, AI, who write code in emacs and then say they hate pgp because it is too complex. Come on guys :-)

Maybe those people you list are smart enough to know PGP could and should be simpler.

Just because you can deal with complexity doesn't mean you should accept it, or seek it for that matter.

We're talking about your mum, not Emacs users. No one's suggesting the average HN reader can't manage PGP.
