To paraphrase Winston Churchill, "SSL is the worst secure-pipe protocol, except for all the others". Like most people here, I can find assorted nits to pick with it (mostly message-formatting stuff and the like, which is actually relatively trivial), but every time I look at its competitors I realise that they're all much, much worse. Conversely, it's amazing how many other protocols are just SSL reinvented badly (or in several cases, really really badly).
