Besides the fact that hating on PGP is like hating on TLS. It's a spec and a container for just about anything you want to do. gnupg (the thing most people have come to dislike) isn't even spec compliant anymore and was always a power user tool not something most users should actually touch anyway

Nah, hating on PGP is like hating on SSLv3. The specs are bad, the entire system is very error-prone, and the cryptography itself is also outdated.
