Unfortunately, from my perspective, the same situation is actually common with a lot of security libraries/tools. Usability and documentation often seem to be sub-standard. The API themselves are mostly not build around the “common” use cases. I was always asuming that’s caused by the orginal programmers being more interested into the crypto algorithmics than building an actual useful tool. But what do I know. My solution so far is to wrap crypto code into own modules and expose only the most simple interface for the job. For the cli, especially openssl, I am relying on (customized) scripts to make common tasks easier, with my ultimate goal to not have to call openssl directly anymore.
