Please check the meaning of " GUI " and try to answer my statement again.

Compatibility with "keepass" (keepassxc is already a different tool/clone) is 
important and makes it simpler to use the same database on different 
environments.
You might be happy with a simplistic database that only stores a few 
passwords. I tend to deal with passwords that are shared within teams because 
the hardware involved only supports a single account. This makes tools like 
keepass important.

Actually, the more copies with changes to your passwords there are, the easier 
it will be to guess your passwords.

And no, I do not use dropbox, I use a secure filestore for this.
