The ultimate engineer's perspective. It works so well that almost nobody uses it!
Signal isn't even that popular compared to other platforms like iMessage, but I bet more people use it than regularly PGP.
I was regularly signing messages with PGP on Fidonet all the way back in '93 (and trying to find people to swap encrypted messages with). It's a bit mind blowing that the useability of the successor program today, GPG, isn't much better than what people thought was kinda wonkish and hard back in the Compuserve days.
