I fully share that opinion. I loved Keybase for its simplicity: It was a way to verify keys based on social media accounts and thus a more practical alternative to the web of trust. The client was optional, I could track someone by using bash and curl, and I kind of managed to understand how it works. Nowadays unfortunately it's a complex system of key management, account authentication, chat, file encryption, and more. I have no way to fully understand that system. Simplicity is an under-appreciated feature.
