This comment is a perfect example of why encryption is mostly not used at all. (Which is far worse than any given vuln). There's kind of a perverse all-or-nothing attitude where the goal is to poke at any possible flaw in a system as proof that it is completely worthless. What's wrong with there being different tradeoffs between security and convenience? The insistence on all-or-nothing solutions has resulted in the powers that be knowing almost everything about almost everyone in our society, because almost no one wants to deal with the trouble of "completely secure" encryption.

I think so you can use it from any computer anywhere with just the passphrase to derive the key and don't need to carry and secure a file.
If you're entering your passphrase on systems you don't control, it's already game over for that passphrase.
