One thing I hate about OpenVPN is the ridiculous configuration. I'm a big fan of tinc[0] personally, although you have to use 1.1pre releases to get half decent encryption, it's configuration is wonderful.

tinc 1.1pre seems pretty good, but I do worry about the legacy fallback for encryption; There doesn't seem to be any way to e.g. --force-experimental to prevent encryption falling back to the old RSA mode.
