IMHO, libp2p has the worst API and project structure I've ever seen in an open source project. The project almost feels like sabotage. For example, I once asked whether there is an example of using libp2p to send one file from an endpoint to another one. Someone answered a year later and explained that there was no such functionality. They were really surprised someone might want to use libp2p to send a file from A to B.

I eventually figured out how to do it but decided not to use the library. However, there is still a real need for an easy to use p2p library for Go that can do some NAT traversal. It's a real pity that the developer of github.com/perlin-network/noise stopped working on it.
