Oh, too bad, I thought this would be at least in the top 3~! Back to the drawing board, folks… 😉

Have you ever thought about reusing your OpenPGP Card device (e.g. Yubikey, Nitrokey) for age encryption?
Thanks to my Tuesday’s “age stunt” this is now possible: https://github.com/wiktor-k/age-plugin-openpgp-card
It’s the best of both worlds: hardware-secured ed25519 private key and simple, modern and secure cryptography of age!

Both of them really have different strengths and weaknesses:
Sequoia is definitely more feature-complete (for example it supports multiple crypto backends) but sometimes the complexity shows (e.g. selecting crypto backends https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia/-/tree/main/openpgp?ref_type=heads#how-to-select-crypto-backends-in-crates or the type names: https://docs.rs/sequoia-openpgp/latest/sequoia_openpgp/cert/amalgamation/struct.ValidComponentAmalgamationIter.html).
rpgp is basically an extension of RustCrypto, and as such is a bit more integrated in the Rust ecosystem but has been lagging a bit on compatibility until Heiko submitted a couple of PRs and now is on the top: https://tests.sequoia-pgp.org/ (rpgpie).
Glad that you like the Sequoia documentation: quite a lot of work has gone into polishing it… :)
