I think it is fair to say that usability is fairly bad for most end to end encrypted systems ... and usability and security are intertwined for E2EE. Here are my comments on Signalgate 1.0:

I've reviewed Signal extensively on my blog. https://soatok.blog/2025/02/18/reviewing-the-cryptography-us...

I analyze cryptosystems based on what an attacker can do, given sufficient capabilities.

"The user adds the wrong person to a group chat" is not a cryptographic weakness, nor a particularly interesting one. Why would I have anything to say about it?

We aren't "silent" about your pet peeves. We just have lives and more interesting things to talk about.
