  When Stee Jobs got kicked out of Lisa development and took over Macintosh he raised a pirate flag, sticking up a finger to the suits have a long and storied history in the business. The people that take offense at such things aren't people you want on your side anyway.

  To me it conveys that they are a group of grognards that can't be bought and never mince words or use euphemisms, even if it upsets people. Precisely want you want for developers of a security library.

  When it comes to security tools, one uses a different approach to selecting your tools. At least, you do if you want to be secure. The best presentation and the prettiest website are nowhere in the selection criteria. You look at the history of the people involved, primarily. What have they done in the past? Was it believed to be secure by other researchers? Is it secure today because they have actively maintained it? Have they used good practices that allow their code to easily be audited by others? Have they welcomed feedback from other competent developers? Using Comic Sans and bitching about the quality of another project is irrelevant in this scenario. OpenBSD project brings with it an almost two-decade history of seriousness about security that I think one would be a fool to ignore.
