The user interface is similar enough that you can switch between those two applications without the need to learn something new: KeePass has many plugins, while KeePassXC works better when I use auto-type to fill in password forms.

Now you can run KeePass wherever Mono runs (including Mac OS X and Linux) and KeePassX has a native version for those operating systems.
