Though at some points it is too simple to use (from my point of view). My main point of critic are the central server architecture, the lack of a stable business interest, mandory need of a mobil phone number and the only use of the Google services to notifications. > I don't have to worry about the 3000 > different setting combinations available to me, because there's design > work been put into it to set me up for success out of the box. With WKD and the related "automatic encryption" concept, there is an outline since 2 years how a much better crypto experience can be done with GnuPG as a crypto engine. Modern clients like GpgOL already implement a large part of this, you type in an email address and even if this is the first time, you get an encrypted email. One main challenge is to get mail service prodiders and mail clients to implement the modern concepts.
