I don't know if I'm old and bitter, or that software becomes harder to use, but so many software seems to degrade in user experience.
HTTP is a relatively easy thing, let's replace it by an overengineered clusterfuck called HTTPS. Good luck implementing THAT on your homebrew OS. (don't get me wrong, it's good thing that it exists, I just don't see why all the sites have to use it)
Well, git+github seems to work nicely, lets disable logins using your password! Took me about an hour to take care of this (there is a nice guide for it, but that doesn't mention what your 'github email' is -- there is no such thing, and it doesn't mention that you have to change your remote to an ssh connection, and it also teaches you to copy-paste commands from the browser to your terminal).

Because regular users don't know how to distinguish between the level of trust they need for visiting "Justin's travel blog" vs. their online banking website. If we don't display red error messages if a site they visit has an invalid certificate, they don't know how to tell it's not safe to enter their credentials there.
The web was once mainly used by academics, programmers and other geeks, now it's used by marketers, scammers, hackers, and a bunch of other malicious actors. I wish we could go back but that ship has sailed.
