The author probably exaggerates, but identifies a very valid point. You really don't want to have this kind of confusion about something that you are planning to trust your secrets to.

The naming confusion is legitimate (PGP, GPG, openPGP) but it literally takes one Google query "PGP GPG" to answer that question in 30 seconds.

The naming of "private key" versus "secring.pgp" is very valid criticism.

Also the fact that it crashes on first use, and that it is all not very user-friendly are all valid criticisms (still!).

PS. please don't down vote because you disagree.
