Interesting perspective. For me it was clear from the beginning that I'm trading convenience for free certs.
Criticism of the "official" client was also very loud from the start.
I do agree that LetsEncrypt has been a constant source of maintenance problems over the years. For example now, I have to switch to another alternative acme client, since the old one doesn't seem to be in active development anymore...
However, certificates used to be expensive, even unaffordable for some projects.

- sergiosgc 6y agoTry renewing certificates by the hundreds the old fashioned way and do a comparison of time used. Let's Encrypt is a godsend.
- jacquesm 6y agoYes, I can see how that would change matters. But I don't run hundreds of servers (fortunately).
- luckylion 6y agoPay somebody to handle your servers, that's the easy answer for "I don't want to spend time on it" and "it should always work forever without me doing anything ever".
- jacquesm 6y agoGood point.
