keepassX seems to be a local application: how do you use it on mobile, or when you're not at home?

Also: if the database gets corrupted, you lose access to all services; if you have backups then it's a little less safe; if the main password for the database is strong you may forget it (or need to write it down somewhere outside the system); if it's not strong it's not safe.

There are mobile clients for KeePass databases. So you just need to keep a copy of your database on your phone. That's extremely easy to do with syncing data apps like SpiderOak.
Soooo you're still using a cloud service to sync your passwords, right?
I cannot say for Android, but if you keep kdbx file on a Dropbox, you can access it with iKeepass iOS app
Android clients exist for both keepass v1 and keepass v2 :)
why shouldnt the average user write down his/her master database password and store it in the kitchen drawer?
