On a somewhat related note: GnuPG gets plenty of hate from the crypto crowd for being "obsolete" and insecure.

I would humbly propose that before you go telling everyone to stop using gpg, implement something that works, builds, and that doesn't break after 6 months or so. I've been using gpg for what, 20 years now? And recently (as in, three or four years ago) started using it with private keys stored on YubiKeys (using drduh's excellent guide). I also use it for symmetric encryption. It works. It doesn't break. It gets things done, and while I'm not secure from state-sponsored hackers, all this is infinitely better than no encryption.

Rage for example, is not in that category — I added it to my ansible automation as a test, and it broke after several months.
