Age is a much better experience than PGP/GPG, even though it only has a subset of GPG's features. The option and argument handling is intuitive; it makes sense instantly. It gives a more grounded understanding of what's happening with the encryption process, especially because of the short-form recipient format. Also, setting it up with a Yubikey and Passage (a GNU pass alternative for Age) was a breeze.
