Dodge K-cars were well known and succesful. They were also utter shit. Plenty of FOSS projects are of low quality but get adopted because they fulfil a need. Some dont age well. Some have poor docs. Some have insufferable interfaces. It's ok to call them shit. All code is shit anyway. Its just the smell ratio that varies.
- megous 4y agoYeah, sequoia certainly doesn't shine here either, unless you call a dump of sq https://docs.sequoia-pgp.org/sq/ https://docs.sequoia-pgp.org/sq/ help screens a useful user facing documentation. I guess it's a nice library, but it's no replacement for GnuPG. At least GnuPG has an actual user guide, FAQ, etc. with important concepts explained step by step. As a GnuPG user, it would not be hard to switch for simplistic use cases without any specialized HW, I guess. I already know most of the concepts, but for new users,... I wish them luck with sq, lol. Documentation is pretty much nonexistent, and the web page for sq tool just links to library documentation. Rust codebase is not everything.
