As yepguy mentioned AGE is simpler. I can also mention few things:

- It works smoothly with SSH keys (generated from ssh-keygen), which are perfectly recognized by possibly any developer.

- No need for external client, such as GpgWin/Kleopatra for Windows.

- Embed-able in Rust[0] and Go[1] (there are libraries), no need to call `gpg --decrypt ...` from the command line.

- Encrypted files by pass and keys are smaller. I guess it is thanks to ecliptic-curve encryption.

Age is much simpler to use in nearly every way, whether that's interactively (keys are just files!), in scripting, or in implementation.

I'm still sticking to gpg for the foreseeable future, but between age and sequoia[1] I'm hopeful that things will soon be much easier to use.
