I agree that age is a huge improvement over PGP, and the rightful heir to its throne.

However most people complaining about PGP's UI go on to explain that this is why you should use Telegram or WhatsApp. That line of reasoning is just bogus.

Huge improvement? It doesn't even come close. It's yet another half-assed reimplementation of the easiest PGP features to reimplement. There is no web of trust, no smartcard support, not even signing.

Which is why age has gone nowhere, and pretty much everyone keeps using PGP.
