I don't mind gpg. I still use it a lot especially with the private keys on openpgp smartcards or yubikeys.

It's a pretty great ecosystem, most hardware smartcards are surrounded by a lot of black magic and secret handshakes and stuff like pkcs#11 and opensc/openct are much much harder to configure.

I use it for many things but not for email. Encrypted backups, password manager, ssh keys. For some there are other hardware options like fido2 but not for all usecases and not the same one for each usecase. So I expect to be using gpg for a long time to come.
