I feel the same way. Everyone is praising 1Password, so I bought it and used it and while I could see that it's useful for many people, I have basic needs and may be a bit different use and recently as I started using KeePass (I'm on Windows) it's just turned out to be the perfect password manager. Last bit was KeeAgent plugin which allows me to use encrypted SSH key effortlessly. I like open nature of KeePass and I like that it's just password manager, no fancy browser integrations, I just copy&paste password when I need it and that's about it. No auto sync, I just push the button and my database synchronized to my webdav server, easy, fast and reliable and I understand and control every bit of it. And all that free, of course, it's not like 1Password asks for a lot of money, but I'm living in a poor country and even those $36 is something I have to consider. When I can rent an entire VPS with a lot of services for that price, it's hard to justify paying that kind of money. I'm OK with one time buying of software or even with buying new version (as long as it's optional), but I really don't like subscription model. I understand that developers want their salary every month, so it's kind of tough topic.

except that that’s the most important part! without that, a text file is sufficient.
luckily there are 3p browser integrations for keypass. i’ve not used them but i assume they are reasonable considering the importance as well as the nature of the community that would write such things.
