Cool ideas?

I was informed by a Kali dev that most people use ZuluCrypt instead of VeraCrypt now. Both tools do similar things, but zulucript seems to do more. (?) It can open VeraCrypt files.
It is also available from apt.
See this thread for a comparison between the two https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/veracrypt-vs-zulucypt-4175612942/#post5754367

I wouldn't replace a functional package. I don't see why zulucrypt shouldn't be added though as a package app. It fits perfectly as an alternative to existing apps already in pi-apps as detailed in the app eligibility rubric #185

Neither would I under most circumstances unless one proves to be a clear successor. I am hoping a veracrypt user will see this issue, compare both in practice, and weigh in on whether zulucrypt seems to be a clear successor or not.
