If you are on Linux and prefer a Qt based GUI, then check out zuluCrypt[1].

It can create PLAIN dm-crypt, LUKS, TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt volumes.

It can unlock PLAIN dm-crypt, LUKS, TrueCrypt, VeraCrypt and Bitlocker volumes.

Not trying to diminish zulucrypt here but I really hope people aren't choosing encryption programs based on the GUI framework they use.

Well, veracrypt has a random seeding stage where you're required to shake the mouse around to create randomness. Problem is, that it only registers when the mouse is over the actual tiny veracrypt window. Problem with that is, it tells you that in some tiny bold text at the bottom. You can waste literally an hour wondering why the randomness meter goes up only sometimes. A better UI might fix that.

I think putting some efforts in the user experience is important. A better GUI may mean that more people will use encryption.

Bitlocker and FireVault are very easy to use compared to VeraCrypt or LUKS, and they are much more common. So many Linux installations don't have disk encryption…

That is nice.

The big plus for VeraCrypt (and TrueCrypt before that), however, is that it works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. If you need an encrypted flash drive for sharing data between different systems, it's the only option that I know of. Which is unfortunate.
