I’ve been using ProtonMail and ProtonVPN for a few years and like both. From a privacy and security perspective, they’re an excellent option. They even make it easy to configure some security mechanisms that are either not yet widely adopted (DANE, MTA-STS, etc) or just excessive for the average user (PGP encryption).
Their interface has also improved tremendously in the last year or so, which previously was my only real complaint.
UI has in fact improved but I still find some apps (specially for iOS) somewhat tacky.
