"Why Some Criticisms Matters More Than Others", by Robert J. Hansen:
"""
On the GnuPG-Users mailing list, a user asked the following (paraphrased) question:
> I am very well aware of the consistent and persistent campaign against GnuPG. Is there a reason for this?
There are many reasons.
Before we go further, the things I'm speaking of apply to both LibrePGP and RFC9580 OpenPGP. The criticisms made against one usually wind up getting made against the other, whether for good or ill. These criticisms fall on a spectrum, from infuriatingly dishonest all the way to carefully thought out and researched. I'll start with the ones I think are dishonest.
