LetsEncrypt sucked all the oxygen out of the movement to replace the CA system.
Let's all remember, CA usage is a choice, and not a good one. There are other better tools.

@silverwizard It was better than the alternative, leaving everyone stuck paying protection rackets or using cleartext. There was no viable movement to replace the CA system until TLS was established as mandatory; the default was just "oh, well CAs suck so don't use TLS".
