Advantages? I guess I should try out LastPass. Free or $1/month premium is a good price.

Cool. I always saw this as a limitation but honestly it's very, very rare that I need simultaneous write - just simultaneous read. I will start recommending KeePass + Dropbox to those who don't trust LastPass. What's KeePass's browser integration like?
