With me, it depends.  Simple, routine things need to be also streamlined.  I
have to keep those steps away from my conscious attention, because (1) that
would be more error prone, and (2) over time, my aversion to fiddly work will
caue me to use it less.  Most crypto products have fallen into that.  Two
notable exceptions have been Enigmail on Tnnderbird, because I can activate
that at the click of a button, and the old PGP wrapper that I used as my
"editor" in the DOS/Bluewave days, which inserted itself into the workflow
ell.

I'm not bothered by passphrases, those are to be expected for crypto, though
I'm not so keen on long passphrases on mobile devices (perfectly fine on a
PC/Mac).

Agree totally.

I did look at Keybase, but when it upgraded, it then behaved as though I had to
re-register my PC, once I logged in after the upgrade.  That led to confusion.
