I doubt that Ian promotes the things you claim he does.
The tone and arguments highly suggests exactly that.
That there should be as you claim mainly a "UI problem" is an opinion
that has some support in the literature ("Jonny can't encrypt"),
but I feel that it is much deeper than that; security should probably
as in the case of Skype be transparent, not needing any UI at all.
I start Skype and that's about it.
I start FF, TB, Psi, Adobe (PDF), OpenOffice or whatever and that's
about it.
Well, I had to create my cert(s) once, that's correct. But from the
minute I stored them in my smart card I'm using 'em everywhere instantly.
We can probably not get much further on this thread except that we
violently disagree on for example the importance of S/MIME.
I wouldn't limit it to S/MIME, since client certs can be used just about
anywhere for almost any purpose (authentication, signing and
en/de-cryption). However I appreciate your contribution nevertheless and
saw (previously) other work you did and you are trying to promote. Hence
I tend to agree on our disagreement for now at leave it as is.
