What troubles? I recently started to use it, and so far I did not encounter any troubles. For me the killer feature of KeePass is that it allows me to safely use it without typing master password using -pw-enc command line argument. I hated to type my password every day over and over again with 1Password. Especially because I understand that it's very weak protection if someone already break in my computer.
I reckon OP dislikes the need to have the whole Mono runtime to run one small-ish application. At least that's the reason I always preferred the native ports.
