At the moment, it's that it has very inconsistent support in MacOS. Most of my machines are Linux, after I got the issues worked out on those it works reliably. OSX I use infrequently enough for it to be worth a ton of time troubleshooting. And so it only works rarely, like I think after a reboot. I think eventually I'll figure it out. The error I get is "no secret key". Even though when I run 'gpg' and then make sure my key is there, it still doesn't work when I run the pass commands.
But I'd rather use a backend that doesn't require as... weird... integration into the OS as GPG does. Between pinentry and having to store the passphrase, gpg just doesn't offer the same sort of out-of-the-box functionality as something less... heavy.
