I was very excited when eQSL and LoTW came out.
Unfortunately, there is resistance to the use of these
mediums by QSL managers and old-time DX'ers. It was
very discouraging that ARRL could not join forces with
eQSL, and this analogy is somehat like the old CQ
Magazine/ QST lack of cooperation (do you remember
when the ARRL did NOT EVEN LIST CQWW as a contest in
its contest announcements?).
It is unfortunate that LoTW is so complicated and
confusing to use, this is probably a design flaw that
could be corrected with more modern programming. The
ARRL is deluged by questions on how to get TQSL certs,
etc.
I am in favor of a much wider use of eQSL and LoTWW.
This is progressive thinking.
PARTICIPATE!! The world is changing.
