I suppose it just depends what you look for in a password manager. I tried lots of solutions from Last Pass, KeepassX to pass but i prefer the scriptability and portability of a command line based password manager and i'm not overly bothered about mobile and browser.

You're right, and don't take this as a challenge, I'm honestly wondering:

How come you aren't bothered? I ask because I can't image apart from:

a. I use short or cryptically unsafe passphrases,

b. I use passphrases and type them easily,

c. I only need to log in a few times.

Am I forgetting others?

For non-mobile use-cases the passmenu script distributed with pass comes in handy:

It types the selected password via xdotool.
