Everybody who had laid eyes on the source code of OpenSSL shares
Matt's opinion. I also share the same opinion. It's aweful, bad and
hard to use.

But Matt Green also says that OpenSSL is probably the best library for
SSL because it is widely used and supported by lots and lots of
people. GnuTLS and NSS are not used as much as OpenSSL.
