My favorite benefit of restic is that it doesn't require the receiving end to have any special software: you can use restic to backup to S3 or BackBlaze B2 directly.

Same! I’ve been using Duplicity for most of my backups and had been considering switching to Borg, but passed when I found it couldn’t use B2 as a backend.

Now I’m using both Duplicity and Restic, for different backups.

Yup, though due to Australian internet I don't use restic's support for non-local backends (otherwise getting a snapshot list or doing a purge+clean is painfully slow) -- I have a sync job that runs every day that uses rclone to sync the restic backup store.
