Also magic-wormhole relies on a hardcoded intermediary servers for which author gives no guarantees.

You can simply run your own. The protocol doesn't rely on the servers for security.
Running my own server for occasional file transfer is when it becomes even smarter alternative to PGP, isn't it?
Its not hardcoded, its just the default server. You can specify your own via a cli flag.
Flag won't make it better. If user needs to run own server, it kills the only advantage in comparison with PGP - relative simplicity.
No, angry commenter, that is not the only advantage Magic Wormhole has over PGP.
Please, don't try to interpret my mood, it can quickly make it childish.

Feel free to argue over other advantages you believe it has.
