Any good alternatives?

"Things that use Ed25519" https://ianix.com/pub/ed25519-deployment.html#ed25519-softwa... is a grab-bag of nacl-style modern alternatives (of varying quality)
Standard S/MIME for e-mail, minisign for signing software, standard ASICE for encrypted containers
Never heard of ASCIE, I assume you're referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Signature_Container...
S/MIME is even worse than PGP.
S/MIME has better e-mail client support and has massive deployment (use, not that much) in Estonia. I think it already beats PGP in two major aspects with that.
S/MIME manages the feat of being even less secure than PGP-encrypted email, which was, again, a low bar to trip over.
Please elaborate.
I think efail showed S/MIME was even more susceptible.
