It's unbelievable how easy this is with Stripe in comparison to PayPal. I had to do the latter a week ago and it was horrible [1]. It's no wonder Stripe is so successful.

Isn't that why they made Braintree
Not sure if you're implying that PayPal "made Braintree" or just that someone made it, but PayPal didn't acquire Braintree until 2013, after being founded in 2007 [1].

Use Braintree and have to say I like it. Paypal are a tad evil though.
Certainly, it's not rocket science either.

I wonder why we don't see much more competition though.
