TrueCrypt does disk encryption so that someone who steals your computer can't read your files. GPG does file encryption so that you can send files to other people without someone spying on you. They don't do the same thing.
Your question is phrased argumentatively ("If GPG is so great") for someone who hasn't understood the basic purpose of each project. You might consider asking with more humility and curiosity next time.

But many many people also use TrueCrypt for file encryption. My question referred to this use case. When I want to use TrueCrypt to encrypt a file, is it always better to use GPG instead?
