I'm currently converting so many disgruntled LastPass users to Chrome's built-in password manager. It's fantastic and I love Google. What is your opinion on that?

Onepassword beats both by a mile. Worth every penny.

I have been using KeePass and variants for a long time, and have never had any problems with it on a variety of devices.

Are you aware of the fact that Chrome stores credentials in a simple SQLite database whose encryption can basically be bypassed if the user is logged into the system? https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-Chrome-stores-your-use...
If you left LastPass because of its security flaws, then using Chrome's passwords is a bit like driving a scooter with a pasta pot on your head because you feel like a normal helmet is too unsafe.

I'd say if something is important—as in it would be a huge mess if you were locked out of it suddenly—it's a good idea to pay for it.
You can switch browsers and search engines at the drop of a hat. Primarily email, password manager, and long term document storage, not so much.
