PayPal does not look so bad. Their API and documentation has also become pretty good.

Documentation has gone form terrible to bad. API has gone from always terrible to appearing OK but will periodically destroy your happiness and productivity for a week. I would never voluntarily work with PayPal tech.

Really, for your company's sake I hope what matters is not what you like, but that your company has a payment solution that does not stop working when Stripe freezes your account. Yeah, Stripe is not an iota better than PayPal when it comes to freezing accounts. The only sane thing to do is to have a backend system that at minimum can use both PayPal and Stripe. With such a system it should be easy to change between PayPal and Stripe and I suggest that we all shutdown the Stripe part to show our discontent.
