Is a PGP-based password manager a good idea in 2019?

[Saeed Rasooli]

You really want to sacrifice native desktop integration (with gpg-agent and
desktop key ring) just because gpg is not very loved?
I don't think most of Linux/Unix users would like that!
If you don't have password on your private key, or you have a very short
password, you are probably making a mistake.
