The first approach of Tinc seems to be more complicated than OpenVPN,
like every new solution, but after some couples of hours of reading man
pages and some pre prodution tests, it's ok.
Advantages that Tinc offered me compared to OpenVPN :

- more flexible
- more easy to deploy (no needs to restart nodes when adding new sites)
- mesh networking (the most important for me)
 
I am using it only with Linux boxes between our 15 sites, it works like
a charm.
