Your decision here is based on balancing security and convenience. It's a tradeoff that you have to decide on based on your situation.

Most average users are willing to trade the upside of the SaaS apps (sync is easy and pretty secure) for the downside (have to trust a third party like 1Password, that they won't send you a malicious client that slurps your master password).

We're technical, so we can use Password Store[0] and avoid the downside of the SaaS programs (have to trust a third party) while still having sync. If you're pissing off entities who might conceivably blackmail or hack 1Password, Password Store is the bare minimum.

[0] I'm not addressing that Password Store doesn't encrypt the sites it has logins for, just the fact that it doesn't require entering your master password in a web page.
