I'm another huge fan of OpenID, but after being the only one arguing for it the last couple of times it came up, I've gotten sick of speaking up for it.
Personally, I would love it if almost every site out there would let me log in with an openID. I'm apparently in the minority here, but I'm sick of having to make a new account every time I want to check out some site or forum that looks like it might be interesting.
While there are issues in the implementation, I am very much unconvinced that there is anything particularly more difficult about the concept than that of current logins.
When I ran non techie friends through it, the biggest complaint was usually that there were too many different screens they had to click through, and there was some confusion about where to go to get an openID, but as far as I can see these are all things that can be improved without sacrificing the core concept of OpenID.
