For users of KeePassX, what are its main benefits? Best I can tell it offers a searchable GUI (is it accesible on the command line?), and AES or Twofish encryption of a database. Is there anything else special, that sets it apart from, say, the built-in encryption capabilities of vim (using blowfish)?
