Proton is great but I do feel wary from putting all my eggs in one basket again.

Same, staying with bitwarden for now
Bitwarden also has better features for now like more solid URL matching (handy if you have a bunch of services on subdomains of the same domain name).
Hey what type of URL matching do you use for achieving this? BW suggest me all the entries for a domain and doesn't differentiate sub domains.
You have to set each entry under the same domain to to match against “host” and you’re set.
I use "Host" matching to only target specific subdomains.

Same, staying with keepass for forever
Same. Although the simplelogin integration seems nice.
I discovered not too long ago that Bitwarden has the same integration! https://bitwarden.com/blog/add-privacy-and-security-using-email-aliases-with-bitwarden/
You need to configure it on each device though, and you need to generate an API key first.
I was just about to write this... Proton is cool, but I only use mail from them. All my other services are independent from each other, and soon I will be self hosting most of them.
I'm switching from privatevpn to protonvpn just for the port forwarding with wireguard within a terminal, no stupid GUI app. Quite pleased with the service, they do VPN well.
The backend is proprietary. Avoid.
As all things Proton.
I use their mail system, and it's pretty good ngl

Just give me a Linux client for proton drive please. I'm tired of manually uploading/downloading files 😐
Yeeeeees. If you're orienting your company as the privacy-alternative it'd be great to emphasize support for the main privacy-oriented OS. I get that developers don't grow on trees, but this seems like a pretty crucial feature that should be prioritized.
I mean, I recently switched to Proton knowing what I was getting into, but I'd really like to see this happen soon.
On the one hand, yes.
On the other, they're still a for-profit company and Linux users still make up a small portion of their customers.
They likely have a larger portion of Linux users then other companies though.

I'll still stick with bitwarden, but if I were to introduce someone very tech illiterate, I would probably recommend proton
I'm tech illiterate and been using Bitwarden for 3 years (premium), and honestly it doesn't work very well on Android. Every time I need to enter a password, it's completely hit-or-miss with Bitwarden. Half of the time it doesn't even pop up. I'm using Xiaomi phone and tablet with stock rom (global version).
Should I switch to Proton?
Before switching you should maybe read this and wait for the native app : https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitwarden/comments/1b32bbz/going_native_the_future_of_the_bitwarden_mobile/

I have the same issue with Keepass2Android. I think the issue is with Android itself rather than the password app.

Sometimes you have to long press on the password box and bitwarden might appear or a little "autofill" option may appear along in the 3 vertical dots pop up. Most of the time, Bitwarden auto pops up for me.
I feel like if you're already using Bitwarden and you're talking to us on Lemmy, you're not tech illiterate.
Try the free version and switch to premium if you like it better than bitwarden.

I'll take KeepassXC and KeepassDX + SyncThing, just works and I don't have to ever rely on someone else for my most sensitive data.

How does it compare to vaultwarden/bitwarden?
When it launched the apps were more modern than bitwarden. If bitwarden hasn't improved since, then it's still the same
Bitwarden’s interface hasn’t changed a bit and it’s a pity
Whats wrong with it?
Bitwarden is excellent but i have a few nitpicks on Android.
I wish I could change the "Username" field to "Email address" because it kind of annoys me having email addresses under usernames. I'd also like to add things to favourites or folders without having to go into edit mode on every entry individually. Same with adding notes. The app has trouble following the system theme and doesn't always autofill reliably for me, meaning I sometimes have to go into the app and copy/paste my passwords manually.
Other than that, the UI is just a bit ugly compared to some other password managers,
Try Keyguard, it is open source and much nicer than the regular Bitwarden app. Do not use the version from the Play Store though, get it directly from Github.

Weren't they planning to change it from Microsoft's Android UI, it's just taking a while, as they have to rebuilt it from scratch? I thought I saw something about that.
Correct, they announced it two months ago: https://www.androidpolice.com/bitwarden-app-about-prettier/
There is nothing wrong with it. Why people always want things to be changing? What really important feature are you missing?
And what better person to answer that question than Mr. Bitwarden himself:

For me keepassxc is a dramatic improvement over a centralised service.

Neat, I'm personally gonna keep with KeepassDX, but it's good knowing that there's some more variety popping up in the mobile market.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket
Very much agree
I use protonmail and very happy with that, so much so I pay for it.
But I would not place my mail and all my secrets in the same spot.
for the love of god use a free open source app like keepass, this is a untrustworthy company
I've been using Keepass like more than 5 years. And its perfect.
