 See, you agree. Nostr is way better. 
 I don't agree that Nostr is better. I'm a big fan of splitting your social media activity from other stuff. Don't use the same key for thousand things.  
 You don't need to use the same key. Just the same protocol that you control the key you want to use. 
 For that Nostr needs a better key management like Master / Child keys.  
 Sure, that will help. But managing multiple keys is not hard. A regular password manager solves most of the way. There is no need to link keys together with a Master / Child crypto scheme. 
 But currently if Iwant to take my I D across different nostr clients. I have to use same nsec don't I?  
 Only if you want your follows to see what your are doing with the other ID. For instance, I have another ID for DMs and another ID for my health data. 

If you are on Android, you can use Amber to sign for any other app. If you are on the Web, you can use browser extensions to sign.  
 Master/child, or "delegates" as some call them, or "certificates" as they're called in the real world, are needed for hot/cold storage and for repudiation.
