The ciphers aren't the problem. The protocols are. IPSEC is insanely over engineered, as are most protocols these days. It's not just in crypto. I was looking at the guts of web sockets the other day and was like WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY. I usually find myself asking "what problem does this solve?" over and over when I look at modern systems. Of course even with my strong bias against it I am still occasionally guilty of over engineering. I just rewrote a major system to de-engineer it. I just keep thinking I will need it even when I have YAGNI tattooed on the inside of my eyelids.
