Anyone using ed25519 yet? Any drawbacks?
Yes, much shorter Drawbacks? Yes, but that was a few years ago when it wasn't widely supported.
It's all good now.
Yup. Exclusively.
Prefer using non-mainstream stuff due to this:

Slightly different issue, but concern is the same
Yes Drawback: aws doesn't support it until now
Lots of control panels and public key based authentication in 3rd party software still barf when provided my ed25519 key.
So I'm still keeping alive my rsa4096/2048 keys in my Keychain.
@vimalware said: Lots of control panels and public key based authentication in 3rd party software still barf when provided my ed25519 key.
Which ones?
I switched to Ed25519 sometimes ago, no support issue on any modern supported distro doesn't work on Centos 6 that's eol this month anyway.
Been using it for a long time now, nice and short which is great.

Silly question but somehow real one - I may have misunderstood something. Why short would matter?
