Well, not necessarily. Let's Encrypt gave us the ACME protocol. Would be nice if we started seeing competing implementations of that.

  Competing implementations of which part? There's already a number of clients out there.

    I think he's talking about the server. The only two servers I'm aware of is the LE server and the LE staging server which both run the same software. It would be really cool to get another CA giving out certs using the protocol.

      Oh, absolutely. Enabling other CAs to use the ACME protocol* for certificate provisioning was an explicit goal during its development. As such, it's incredibly disappointing that Startcom decided to build their own incompatible solution here. *: Yes, that's really what it's called. Stands for "Automatic Certificate Management Environment".
