Should I use S/MIME?

Hello all,

I just upgraded to Evolution 2.0.2 and there's a new option in the
Security menu to "S/MIME Sign" my mail. Should I use it?

I'd like to help spread Free crypto as widely as possible, so it seems
like increasing compatibility by providing an additional signature would
be a good idea (more signature types == more compatibility == more ease
of use == more people using crypto). However, I don't want to promote a
standard that's closed or patented. 

What's the consensus in the GPG community?
