I think that's difficult because Tramp isn't better. It does a
different job.
Tramp consists of three parts.
One part groks filenames of the form "/method:user@host:/some/file"
and delegates the real work to backends based on the method. As an
added value, you can omit the method, and then it will choose a
default method based on the user and the host. One of the backends it
knows about is ange-ftp.
The second part is a backend which uses smbclient to access the files.
The third part is a backend which uses a remote login program to
access the files.
The added value for using Ange-FTP together with Tramp is that this
provides a unified filename syntax for remote files, regardless of how
the remote system is accessed.
One can remove the Tramp entries from file-name-handler-alist and
re-add the Ange-FTP entries there. But it's also possible to just
type "/ftp:user@host:/some/file" as the filename, or to set
tramp-default-method, as Michael mentioned.
