I use Safari a lot but if I'm in a different browser then my passwords are unavailable.

No, it's not. I alternate between Safari, Firefox, and Duck. If a password I use in Safari isn't stored in Firefox, I copy it from the Keychain program and paste it into Firefox. Firefox then asks to save it. No problem.

The GUI is buried in System Settings.

It has its own program. /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access

Your workflow is significantly worse than the experience I get with 1password.

Woah that's the same way I used password managers 10 years ago. Even back then it was considered barbaric. I had no idea people still lived like that.

I never stated that it was good.

The previous commenter said passwords were "unavailable" outside of Safari. I merely demonstrated that his statement was false.
